Puncher's Chance Kentucky Straight Bourbon

Tasting Notes

About:

45% ABV (90 Proof). Marriage of 4-, 5-, and 6-year-old bourbon. Suggested retail $34.99/750mL.
Appearance:
Dark gold and clear with medium viscosity.
Nose:
Musty wood and hints of sweet vanilla.
Palate:
The bourbon smells sweeter than it is on the palate. Citrus peel and the slight bitter of cocoa powder give way to a smooth, spiced finish.
Finish:
Comments:
As stated above, this is an incredibly accessible bourbon. I would recommend Puncher’s Chance to kick the door in for someone brand new to bourbon. The subtle blend gives off just enough of the wood and the sweetness on the nose really mellows out in the glass to a nice smooth finish.
