Jake’s Tasting Notes: Five Trail Barrel Proof Whiskey
Nose: The higher proof gives more traditional high rye, bourbon notes: Citrus, vanilla, cracked pepper, and a light touch of milk chocolate.
Palate: Bread budding in a glass with a dash of cinnamon is my first impression. As you continue to drink, the spiciness comes out but is balanced by the sweetness.
Finish: Long and Bold
