Lost Lantern Soaring Spice Frey Ranch Distillery Nevada Straight Bourbon, 63.8%

Orange peel, fresh grain, dried herbs and spices, fiery spice on the nose, and light fruit notes emerge with water. Very spiced on the palate, with more dried orange and dried raspberry and cherry notes. Much softer with water, but still with a very dry restrained sort of balance that is spicy, earthy, and enjoyable. The finish is the best part, with candied sweetness and vanilla melding well with the spice for a happy ending.
