McKenzie Bourbon, 45.5%
Price: ● Issue: Winter 2011 ● Reviewer: Lew Bryson ● Category: Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey
Sharpish nose, hot corn, peppermint, a bit of grape, and underlying cocoa. Sweet mouthful of vanilla and corn, the cocoa's here, and some oakspice. Finish is a bit rough and hot, but not unpleasant. This works better than the sherry-assisted takeoff of their rye whiskey. Could be more rounded, but it's well-constructed and solid.
