Pour #1
Very subtle nose, hints of dried fruit is the most I’m picking up.
Amber color, lighter mouthfeel. First sip brings on a surprising sweetness, not like a “finished” bourbon, but certainly could be wheated. Very balanced and smooth, but doesn’t give the impression of being a higher proof. The finish is short and doesn’t pack a lot of heat.
My guess: Jefferson’s Ocean.
And it was:
Thank you, Ben, happy to have tried it, and don’t feel like I was too far off.
