Smoke Wagon Uncut & Unfiltered, New Charred Oak Cask, 57.35%

The cinnamon and rye spice give the caramel and toffee a welcome edge, rather than letting the sweetness lead alone. The long finish keeps that contrast going with oak and lingering spice; this sounds like a bold, warmly weighted bourbon.
