Oppidan Smoke + Sea Bourbon, 46%

Price: 40 Issue: Fall 2018 Reviewer: Susannah Skiver Barton Category: Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey

Sweet smoke mingles with lemon curd, milk chocolate, roasted marshmallow, and vanilla-frosted yellow cupcake on the nose. The palate has a rubbery peatiness, yet the flavor remains fresh, with cherries and grapes, roasted nuts, salted caramel, and milk chocolate. It all wraps up with the ashiness of pipe tobacco and lengthy saline minerality. Beguiling and moreish—a whiskey worth lingering over. (3,000 bottles)
