Gentleman's Cut, 45%

Price: 80 Issue: Fall 2023 Reviewer: David Fleming Category: Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey

Earthy and lightly green on the nose, which offers notes of cereal, honey, bubble gum, and a hint of fruit, mellowing into spice and light brown sugar. Somewhat aggressive on the palate, and barrel-forward, with molasses cookie and bread dough. The finish offers nougat and more brown sugar. Overall there’s some pleasant sweetness in there, but it could use more flavor integration.
