AnttiRG 4.0

Batch #3 is a rich, grain-to-glass, Wheated Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey crafted with a mash bill of white corn, white winter wheat & malted barley; that is aged for 5 years in American white oak barrels before being bottled at 48% ABV. It has an aromatic birth with notes of grain, wood, fruits, flowers, nuts, herbs & spices; while a rich & creamy life adds notes of vanilla bean, orange zest, hazelnut & sweet corn; that led to a long & balanced death with notes of glazed doughnuts, oak, clove, nutmeg, spiced caramel latte & cigar.

Had an Eaves collab before with St Augustine distillery and was expecting more from this offering. Flavor was hot for a 95 proof and needed ice, after it settled down i got a hint of the previous Eaves flavor, but not nearly as much. The price was high for this offering and i was left disappointed.

An interesting pour for sure. Adding a couple of drops of water opens it up nicely. I slight build of heat which never gets overpowering which tapers smoothly opening up some flavors along the way. One to keep on the shelf and enjoy on those special occasions.
