Taconic Straight Bourbon Dutchess Private Reserve, 45%

Price: 38 Issue: Fall 2017 Reviewer: Jeffery Lindenmuth Category: Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey

Sweet and simple candied nose. Palate is thin, bright, and lemony, like a fluffy mouthful of sweet marshmallows, with hints of banana, circus peanuts candy, and gingery spice. Not especially complex, but pleasant enough.
