Shortbarrel Four Grain
Appearance / Color
Burnished copper
Nose / Aroma / Smell
Honey, orange peel, graham cracker, light oak, and floral grain sweetness.
Flavor / Taste / Palate
Toffee, orchard fruit, cocoa nib, baking spice, and a layered cereal-grain middle.
Finish
Peppery oak and sweet grain linger together with a modest rye snap.
Shortbarrel positions Four Grain as a layered, grain-driven bourbon instead of a one-note oak bomb. The value here is in tasting how the wheat and rye both register around a six-year Kentucky base.
