Whisky #159 – Rowan’s Creek Small Batch Bourbon Whiskey
by 
Rowan’s Creek Small Batch Bourbon Whiskey. Kentucky, United States. ABV: 50.05%. Tasted at Varnish, $17.
Colour: Standard bourbon colour. Amber.
Nose: Not too strong, although it is a little hard to detect as there is the strong smell of bacon in the bar from Varnish’s bacon flights that accompany a selection of matched whiskies…*drool*.
Palate: Rye & subtle aniseed.
Finish: Medium length, bit of heat at the front half of the mouth, quite a bit of tingle on the lips. Could be because with the advent of winter my lips are starting to become a little dry, but like kissing a cute girl you’ve just met on a night out after a few drinks – you can’t tear yourself away.
Comments: Remarkably similar to the Eagle Rare 10 year old if my recollection serves me correctly.
