Middle West Spirits Michelone Reserve, 47.5%

This wheated bourbon’s cereal grain aromas tantalize, taking you on a nostalgic ride through childhood by way of Frosted Flakes, Golden Grahams, and Cinnamon Toast Crunch. There’s applesauce and apple cider donut too, making for a highly enjoyable nose. Fresh strawberries jump in on the palate, but they’re overtaken by hot cinnamon spice that coats the mouth completely. The finish continues on that hot and spicy road, lingering on and slowly softening out.
