New Liberty Bloody Butcher Sour Mash Straight Bourbon

Dominantly corn-forward. Despite a lower proof, it didn't burn, but the corn flavor was so strong that other tastes were nearly undetectable. The combination of malted rye and corn enhances the distinct corn profile, suggesting future development as the oak influence deepens the flavor.

Tastes of blueberry, bread, and worn leather. The aroma is light, and the initial mouthfeel has a surprising burn.

Has a strange overall character. Lots of licorice flavor. Generally not a big fan.

The flavor profile was enjoyable. It could be a little smoother, but it's still pleasant.
