  • Intro:

    This bourbon is distilled by an undisclosed producer and bottled by Americus, Georgia distillery Thirteenth Colony. Distilled from a mashbill of 70% corn, 21% rye and 9% malted barley and aged between four and six years, this whiskey is the brand's flagship bourbon.

  • Nose:

    Honey, full of banana, tropical fruits, sweet rising bread and custard. Light, sweet, fruity.

  • Taste:

    Moderate mouthfeel, honey, light oak, pepper, sweet oak and peppy ginger. Some papaya, tropical fruits. It’s unusual on the palate, possibly one of the fruitier bourbons I’ve had.

  • Finish:

    Short finish, honey forward with notes of almond, papaya, sweet oak and caramel candies.

  • Overall:

    This is a distinctive bourbon. It’s interesting to see so much tropical fruit in a pour, but it’s unique, and fun, and while not the top of the charts, it’s a fun pour — no matter who made it.
