Hand Barrel Straight Bourbon Whiskey Veterans 750ml

Hand Barrel Straight Bourbon Whiskey Veterans is a Kentucky bourbon from a brand built around barrels chosen one at a time rather than blended to a house average, and this release carries a Veterans label. What that approach buys you is variation with a point of view: the barrel is picked because it tastes like something, not because it rounds out a batch. The nose runs caramel, baked apple and vanilla, the palate turns to brown sugar with toasted oak and baking spice, and the finish is warm and oaky without overstaying. Drink it neat or over one big cube, and it makes a straightforward old fashioned.
