Jeppson's Straight Bourbon Whiskey Finished With Amburana Wood Staves

I was told this was very good but hot, and boy were they right. I smelled grape and sweetness like sweet tarts on the nose. The front of the palate is sweet and then comes the spices, and it turns hot very quickly. There’s a note in there i can’t pick out but its pleasant. Maybe a little ethanol in there. And boy does it last at the middle and back of the palate. Its strange to have something spicy also taste sweet. But thats what i get. The finish is more heat and just stays for a bit. Not for the faint of heart and not as smooth as a Stagg, but i quite enjoyed it. Grape didn’t transfer to the palate for me, but that sweetness did.
