Distillery Bottled, Barrel No. 891. Wine & Beyond selection by Ryan Engen.
750 ml / Colorado, USA / 67.3% ABV

"Pretty fruit gets swept up in distinct anise and fennel-bulb aromas, with hints of mint and quinine, backed by vanilla. Very soft, creamy, and rounded on the palate, the peachy stone fruit comes nicely balanced with oak, sweet vanilla, and glimmers of nutmeg and clove spices before the cocoa powder finish. Well-constructed, smooth, and easy-drinking with a pleasant persistence of fruit. 82/100" - Whisky Advocate

Starlight Distillery 'Carl T. Huber's' Double Oaked Bourbon
Distillery Bottled, Limited Release. Batch No. DB037-2
750 ml / Indiana, USA / 55.1% ABV

"Starlight’s straight bourbon gets an 8-month finish in new vanilla toast American white oak barrels from Napa Valley cooperage Seguin Moreau. That oak influence shows itself on the nose as pecans, rich caramel, and antique bookcase. A youthfulness emerges with water. The palate is chewy, with generous oak, root beer, and a dark earthiness. Cocoa powder, mint, and tea leaf highlight the finish. The structure is clean and the flavors work with or without water. 90/100" - Whisky Advocate
