Hardin's Creek Jacob's Well, 54%

A blend of 15 and 16 year old bourbons. There is a lovely berry note on the nose, alongside milk chocolate, orange peel, leather, lilacs, spicy oak, and lemon icing. A lively palate brings cinnamon stick, buttered popcorn, snickerdoodle cookie, and peppery spice. The finish is long but thin, with lots of salinity. There's nice composition here and a balanced sweetness throughout, with spiced and earthy undertones.
