- Excerpt: Although the bourbon is light on complexity, which is the only thing that gives away the bourbon’s age, its overall drinkability ends the bourbon on a high note.

Intro:
This bourbon whiskey comes to us from Tennessee, distilled at B.R. Distilling. Produced using a mashbill of 70/21/9, this 20 barrel batch of bourbon is at least 3 years old. It is bottled at 46.5% ABV and is not filtered. Let's get to it.
-
Nose:
Brown sugar, toffee, light oak presence, hint of youth but nothing egregious.
-
Taste:
Thin on the palate, no heat. Brown sugar, hint of toffee. Light pepper. Not super complex, but what's there is pleasant.
-
Finish:
Short to medium finish. Honey, pecan, fresh biscuits
-
Overall:
Young but plenty of potential. I like what's happening here, and look forward to seeing what their line tastes like with a couple extra years of age on there.
