Civilized Bourbon (40%ABV)

Last night was low key, so here is just a quick note on this item.  I wrote it up last night, but seem to have lost that, so this may be edited later.

Nose: new make.  Corn, sweet fructose, and lots of alcohol.

Taste: again, lots of new make type corn.  This isn't white dog, but it isn't far off from it either.  There is some sweetness and it is surprisingly smooth for something that needs to get a lot older.  Feels almost frothy to me with the fresh alcohol and corn flavors, almost like they haven't been able to remove the head from the initial fermentation off of it yet.  It is actually better than I expected for such a young whisky, but it is still so, so young.

Finish: nope, acidic, bitter, and sour.  Not a good finish, but it is pretty quick.  You would make 'the face' if you did a shot.  You know the face I'm taking about.

Anyway, the larger overall picture here is that this is a small micro distiller that seems to be doing things the right way.  This was a reward purchase for them "y'all seem nice, you're trying hard, and putting out a good effort."  That is worth a little something, right?  They will have to get some older stuff if they want a repeat purchase, however.  I used this to mix with some Pepsi Throwback. Worked just fine in that environment.  The sweetness mixed well with the cola, it provided some bourbon flavor, and the fizziness of the cola buried the finish so as to not be a problem.  Came across more like a Rum and cola, but I like that so what is the problem?  Would one of my 'daily driver' selections work better? Probably, but I haven't posted any of those yet, so how would you know?
