Homestead Barrel Proof Bourbon

Country: USA

Region:

Type: Bourbon

Bottler: Homestead

ABV: 56.65%

Score: 85 Points

This whisky comes from an undisclosed distillery, and the nose is spicy with good cinnamon, rye, and hints of brown sugar and molasses. The taste is thick and spicy with rye and cinnamon notes leading to a blast of black pepper that fades to reveal caramel and maple with a touch of oak and hints of roasted nuts. The finish is long and spicy with cocoa, molasses, and caramel balancing the fading cinnamon and pepper.
