Savage & Cooke The Burning Chair Bourbon, 44%

Price: 55 Issue: Summer 2019 Reviewer: Susannah Skiver Barton Category: Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey

Light in aroma, with nougat, pistachio halvah, fresh lilies, and the chalkiness of general store candy. Flavor and mouthfeel are also subtle, sometimes too much so; while there are lovely floral and fruit notes, along with spices, pistachio, toasted grain, and orange oil, a bit more amplitude would go a long way.
