Kentucky straight bourbon, 90 proof
Ideal moment
Introducing a friend to bourbon when you don’t want to scare them off with jet fuel.
My take
Yes, it’s a little hyped and occasionally annoyingly hard to find, but when you do? Caramel, light fruit, gentle spice. It’s the Spotify “Daily Mix” of bourbon: somehow always fine, sometimes perfect.
