Starlight Distillery Single Barrel (No. 1327), 56.8%

An intriguing blend of toffee, butterscotch, cigar box, and cedar opens this oaky bourbon. Adding water introduces a pronounced charred note to the nose, which is present on the palate both with and without water. Each hits your palate with bourbon ball candies, chocolate and peanut butter, and a heavy dash of pepper. Water smooths some of the more spiky elements and brings the tasty barrel char flavors to the forefront.
