Cody Road Single Barrel Bourbon, 52.5%
Price: ● Issue: Winter 2015 ● Reviewer: Lew Bryson ● Category: Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey
A wheater, 70/20/10 corn/wheat/malt, barrel proof, and 32 months old. A rich corn nose, with some wood notes and a slightly antiseptic sting of alcohol heat. Young in the mouth—cinnamon candy, a bit meaty—but all the right pieces are in place: warmth, corn, oak spice, and a smooth progression to the warm finish. Good already, and showing even more promise.
