Blue Run Flight Series II (No. 3 Tahoe Powder), 58%

On the nose there’s butterscotch, banana split, and sweet overnight oats, tempered by dried grass and dusty wood. The palate delivers toffee, nougat, peach syrup, and a hint of chocolate and coconut, all balanced by a hearty shake of black pepper. Water extends this bourbon’s run, bringing out malted milk balls, raisins, and pear tart. The finish is long and, while there’s a bit of heat, it’s still well-balanced as it slowly fades.
