TASTING NOTES:

Vital Stats:Bottled in bond, 100 proof, 50% ABV. Distilled by Buffalo Trace with a mashbill of corn, amaranth, and malted barley. No age statement. ~ about $70 per 750ml

Appearance:Light orange or a pale honey. Looks to have a light body, even with the 100 proof.

Nose:Bright cherry, with a dash of toasted honey, or perhaps brown sugar.

Palate:This is where things get fun. Fruit with a long finish. Opens with a bit of maraschino cherry and then late harvest blueberry. Theres some orange peel lingering in the background of the finish. Some oak in the middle. I know there are a lot of flavor words going on Caround here, but really, this whiskey is an experience.
