Easy Rider Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a sourced bourbon produced by Hood River Distillers in Oregon. The bourbon is aged 4 years and bottled at 80 proof, then blended with glacier-fed spring water from Mount Hood. It retails for around $25 per 750ml bottle.
A dominantly sweet, vanilla flavor suffuses this smooth whiskey. It has a tongue numbing, cinnamon touch that snowballs into a pleasant burn at the back of the throat. Slight, peaty bitterness rounds things out in an agreeable manner.
A modest caramel note gives the entire spirit a Cracker Jack character, and the palate blends this with a fairly simple, spicy note dominated by allspice and cinnamon. It’s sweet, but not overwhelming in the slightest.
