4 The Whiskey Wash

Palate: The palate is very even all the way through. No hint of being on a flavor roller coaster even though it is hot at 99 proof it was still very smooth. The flavor profile seems simple with a great mouthfeel and very warming. Flavors include leather, oak, walnut shell, and maple. This feels like a good three season bourbon with those seasons being: last season, this season, and next season. I felt this was a great year round bourbon that's great for sipping or mixing. The flavor profile reminds me most of spring with it's fresh leaf aroma and hints of fruit. It's warm but not too warm. A pleasant way to wake up your palate after a dark winter season. Plus, this bottle won't break the bank.
