Saturday! Got some work done around the house... day 17 of 24 Days of Whisk(e)y - tonight, Heaven's Door Single Barrel Cask Strength Bourbon, a Westmoreland store pick. This one is 60.75% ABV, distilled and bottled in Tennessee. It's pretty high proof, let's see how it is.
On the nose, I really have to hunt for anything interesting. I do get a little bit of citrus, but more like citrus cleaner than real citrus, a touch of sweetness too. The taste - hot! Cinnamon Red Hot... and not much else initially. There is a bit of sweetness, and I do get a little wood too. The finish is hot and spicy as well, then in the back I do get the wood too.
With water, the nose is sweeter, but the taste and finish is even hotter. I don't think the heat is coming from the proof directly, but it probably isn't helping matters. This is OK overall - there are no faults, but there also isn't much about it that I like too much. Rated 3.25/5.0, cheers!
