This is a four-grain bourbon from Columbus, Ohio-based Middle West Spirits. The whiskey is aged six years and finished in Solera sherry casks. We're tasting batch 4.
What surprised me, since I didn’t catch hints of this in the nose, was the wonderful wash of mellow pipe tobacco that immediately took me back to time with my great grandfather and the ever-present and wonderfully pleasant pipe smoke I associate with the gem of a man.
