End of Days Bourbon Whiskey

END OF DAYS BOURBON-SERIES 1/BATCH 2 110 PROOF MASHBILL: 68% LOCAL NC CORN 22% TWO ROW BARLEY 10% RYE NOSE: Sugar Corn Pops Cereal, Wood Spice, Brown Sugar, Sliced Ripe Red Apple, Peach Preserves and a hint of Young Dried Corn. Very Good. NEAT: Great Coating Mouthfeel. Apricot, Leather, Vanilla and a hint of Young Corn and Peppery Heat. Nice Medium Length Finish with the Effervescent Burn of a highly Carbonated Water remaining on the palate with Vanilla, Leather, and Char. Different, but, again, Very Good. SPLASH: Takes some of the Young Corn notes out of the Nose and Palate. Sweetens the whole experience just a bit, but that great lingering Effervescent Burn is unaffected. VERDICT: This Distillery is about 20 miles from me. They make excellent Gins and Rums. They put some barrels of bourbon down not long after opening and this is the first of them to come of age. I love the unique mashbill (basically the percent of malt and rye are reversed) and the effervescent burn is something I normally only get from Islay Scotches. Looking forward to Series 2.

Sickly sweet. Sadly nothing redeming.
