Filibuster Single Estate Single Barrel Bourbon Whiskey is a limited-edition release from 2019, created from a single farm, distillery and barrel. It is bottled at 110-120 proof and retails for around $58.99.
Scan the dessert case and choose your favorite, because they're all here in abundance: cake donuts, sticky buns, pralines, cocoa-dusted truffles, and strawberry tarts on the nose.
Honestly, for a $50ish whiskey, this is a standout. They could price it $20-30 higher and it'd still make sense. It's a little unusual, but not oddball. More like intriguing!
On the palate, the rye drove the flavors I experienced, which included new oak, maple syrup, black pepper, roasted red pepper, and a slight tannic bitterness reminiscent of raw walnut. It winds down with a trailing sweetness and a drying mouthfeel.
