Bourbon Review: Temperance Trader Chinato Barrel Bourbon

is woody and sweet, with a small burn and medium tannins, followed seamlessly by dried fruit and fresh pressed orange juice. The finish is medium and warming with ginger, toast and oak, and the lingering fullness of vanilla. Sipping this slowly, it proved versatile, pairing just as well with a simple supper of fluffy potato pancakes with creme fraiche and red onion chutney, as it did with home-style spiced fig bars and the last of the season’s blackberries. I rate it 89 points, proving there are still innovations possible in the whiskey world. I’m happily ready for the next. You, meanwhile, can pick up a bottle of this bourbon online from a range of retailers at an average price of $75.
