Jake’s Tasting Notes: Carl T. Bourbon Finished In Honey Barrels
Nose: Very sweet, vanilla, honey and lemon
Palate: Gentle notes of honey, vanilla, oak. Its honey notes are more akin to a local, raw honey taste, rather than an overly sweet “golden bear” honey.
Finish: Medium finish, with soft lingering notes of a soft honey candy.
Closing Thoughts:
This is Starlight Distillery at its finest. I believe this Carl T. Bourbon finished in Honey Barrels is finishing at its finest. It takes the element of the barrels and mingles the two flavors together to create a perfect summer sipper. You can pour this over ice and you almost have yourself a gold rush for a summer cocktail.
