Bourbon Review: Dexter Three Wood Straight Bourbon

I don’t mind this, actually. I thought I wouldn’t like it because the marketing’s so cheesy. But it’s also pleasing on the palate, which is a relief. It does have the slightly hot tingle of a three-digit proof but the sweetness covers up most of it. It doesn’t taste like a fake-flavored soda, but I will say it follows on the Classic Coke nose. Because of the cherry on the nose and the palate as well, I’d say Cherry Coke but that tastes super-artificial: This is like regular cola with actual cherry added to it, so: pleasant! I don’t know what the entire mash bill in this is, but I’m guessing it’s pretty corn-heavy because of the sweetness it tends to bring. It doesn’t have the heft of something like a Michter’s or Four Roses, but it’s not a bad thing to quaff when the weather outside continues to be depressing AF.
