Hudson Bright Lights, Big Bourbon New York Straight, 46%
Price: ● Issue: Winter 2020 ● Reviewer: David Fleming ● Category: Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey
Distilled from 95% New York-grown corn and 5% malted barley. Vanilla ice cream, milk chocolate, orange zest, ginger snaps, fresh flowers, leather, and allspice on the nose. The mouthfeel is light, with notes of herbs, orange slices, vanilla, cinnamon, chocolate, almonds, and brown sugar. A smooth, spicy finish brings on a finale of orange tart, ginger, dried almonds, and a pleasant cereal note. Light but well spiced, with depth and balance. Best Value
