  • Rock solid. Nothing crazy, but a really enjoyable sipper. Would be great in a cocktail and gets the job done as a neat sipper.

  • The Whiskey Wash
  • By Jeff Bogursky
  • Classic bourbon bloom of sweetness from corn with a slight bite that only highlights the sweetness. Nothing cloying here, just rich flat bourbon goodness, demarara sugar over an oaky underlay.
