The Bourbon Introspective
Description: This pour offers a thick, rich mouthfeel with an assertive rye spice presence, drinking notably higher than its listed proof. Initially bold and tightly wound, it benefited from time to open up, revealing greater complexity and depth on the second pour. The nose presents layered notes while the palate delivers rich flavors. The experience closes with a medium-long impression.
