This Taconic Distillery's straight bourbon whiskey bottled at barrel strength (115 proof) offers more robust flavor and is an excellent foundation for cocktails. At 57.5% abv, it still has a rather sweet nose, with corn and cereal grain, as well as vanilla. The higher proof also provides a heightened dose of caramel and butterscotch on the palate. The finish is long, bold and warm with lingering notes of spice and candied fruit.
