BeanBall Bourbon, 50%

Price: 45 Issue: Summer 2014 Reviewer: Lew Bryson Category: Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey

Label: “BeanBall Bourbon - Tennessee Straight Bourbon Whiskey.” Believed to be from Dickel, but no confirmation; just the huge cracked corn component in the nose, which should be all you need. My, that's tasty as it spreads like warm oil over the tongue, hot corn spirit spiked hard with oak. Good oak, dried corn, and a snap of mint in the finish. Nice selection…and interesting labeling in light of the recent Tennessee whiskey definition squabbles. Sourced whiskey.
