Oregon Spirit Distiilers Single Barrel Bottled In Bond Bourbon

The nose is full of dark chocolate and charred oak, followed by earthy rye spice, vanilla and touches of leather. It comes off a bit simple, yet it is intense and full with what it presents. To me, that is a good sign. The palate is so easy to swirl around before giving way to a burst of dark chocolate and earthy rye spice, that gets the mouth tingling. The mouth stays full of flavor as a slight chew develops, as charred oak then comes in. It is wonderfully delicious, offering fewer but richer flavors compared to others. So easy to chew on, so exciting to take a sip of. The finish is medium long with a lingering pepperiness that keeps the mouth tingling alongside a wonderful chew. Dark chocolate rounds everything out as it unfortunately fades.
