Jake’s Tasting Notes: Lee Sinclair Bottled In Bond
Nose: As Spirits of French Lick says “Respect The Grain” this bourbon starts out grain forward on the nose. It moves into pepper, orange zest, almond and finishes with a hint of chocolate
Palate: It starts our sweet with cinnamon sugar balanced by nutmeg and creamy mouthfeel.
Finish: Creaming finish of nuttiness for a medium finish
