United Blended Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Category: Blended Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Date Tasted:
Country: USA
Alcohol: 54%
Golden amber color. Aromas and flavors of maple syrup and butterscotch, waffle cone, vanilla, and mint chocolate, clove studded toasted orange peel, and citronella with a glycerous, tangy, dry medium-to-full body and a warming, elegant, long finish with notes of honey and butter on a warm croissant, cracker jacks, pralines, brown sugar, cinnamon, and and black pepper belgian waffle. Young and a bit hot yet very tasty and complex; great to sip now and curious to see how this distillate will develop with more time in barrel.

About
Blended Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Blended Straight Bourbon is a blend of straight bourbon whiskies with an added allowance to contain coloring and/or flavoring, something that is not traditionally allowed in the straight bourbon category. In addition to this allowance, a Blended Straight Bourbon's components do not need to be distilled in the same state as one another.
