Old Hamer Single Barrel Straight Bourbon

Uncertain if the cost is warranted, but decided to try it. Consumed neat in a tasting glass, it presented a strong alcohol presence. This particular selection featured notes of cornbread and honey with a high proof. Be cautious with this high alcohol content and relatively young age; there are some sweet corn syrup notes, perhaps hints of chocolate at the beginning, and a spicy finish. It provides a substantial warming sensation. Trying it with water might reveal more. There are superior options available at a lower price point.

Rich with earthiness and aromas, complemented by light woodiness and caramel. Herbal tea and tobacco are prominent initially, transitioning to an herbal/bakery/chocolate finish.
