As with the Kansas City Whiskey, this is an incredibly soft bourbon that tempers its top aromatic notes of toasted corn, vanilla, and coconut. It’s probably my imagination coming off of the Kansas City Whiskey, but there seems to be a slightly oxidized note layering above it all. This character is nicely complementary and, it turns out, slightly savory as it develops in glass, perking up aromas of roasted mushrooms and a grassy soy-like note. The palate continues this theme unabated, with toasted corn rolled in honey and caramel run through a tempering of sherried mushrooms. It’s light and ephemeral, running through a gauntlet of dried florals and perfume, finishing on a gentle cherry note. This is easy-drinking stuff, perhaps too much so. 90 proof.
