Read the full review here
With an aroma that is sure to bring a smile to your face, this extra-aged Nocino finished bourbon from Watershed Distillery is a great example of the unique whiskeys that Lost Lantern is seeking out for their releases.
This bourbon is a spice-filled flavor bomb from start to finish. A delectable nose reminds me of classic Christmas morning spices, thanks to cinnamon bundt cake, spiced molasses, and brown sugar. Baking spices and molasses carry into the palate and meet additional cinnamon syrup and caramel, which add sweetness but are balanced by oak and toasted walnut. The bourbon ends on lingering mellow spice preceded by a mix of spiced and dry notes. Thanks to a stellar aroma, impressive balance, and flavorful sip, this is quite possibly the best expression yet of Watershed’s Nocino-Finished Bourbon that will linger in the memories of those who get to try it.
OVERALL RATING: 4 Barrels – VERY GOOD!
