Rock Town Bourbon Chocolate Malt

This whiskey tastes too young initially, but after off-gassing the bottle, the taste opens up well and is pleasant. It gives you a Kentucky (or Arkansas) hug all the way down.

The “sour” of this bourbon asserts itself from the first sniff with notes of lemon, green apple, hay, and a pinch of ginger. That eases into an earthier bouquet of oak, barley, bitter chocolate, and a touch of coffee.
