A.D Laws Four Grain Straight Bourbon 47.5%
60% Corn, 20% Colorado-grown wheat, 10% Colorado-grown rye, 10% Colorado-grown barley
Tasted: June 2016
Nose: Earthy and edgy with burnt toffee, bunt coffee and burnt herbs. A subtle fudge and perfumed orange note adds a degree of lightness but it becomes enormously herbal with time.
Palate: Youthful and herbal with an intense spiciness. Slightly treacly with drying, bitter, dark chocolate tannins and rye.
Finish: Intense and herbal but youthful and bitter.
Conclusion: Although I loved it’s intensity it could’ve done with some balancing sweetness.
