Friends HB cherry stout
 
Went to the brew shop to pick up some stuff for a new sour, and I met a friend at the OTHER BROTHER brewery. They opened a few months ago...pretty sure the head brewer comes from ASB. Pretty sure...

...they share space with the bread joint (aka "the other brother" ... or maybe I have it backwards)

How is that, the bourbon?

Depends it really doesn’t have a lot of the traditional bourbon flavor the port wine finish takes a lot of that over. It taste like a super smooth bourbon with a lot more sweetness but with the traditional barrel notes toned down dramatically. If your looking for traditional bourbon you don’t want this if your looking for something different but similar this is it as long as you like sweet.

I sip my whiskey from glencarin glassware at room temp

My tasting notes would be

Nose : candied fruit, spice cake and oak

Flavor : sweet grapes, cane sugar, beach wood, light clove and barrel spice

Finish: oak and fruit

$50 a bottle is the issue people love it or hate it and that’s not cheap bourbon and because of the unique character it’s not for everyone. I think it’s fine however I would not consider it a daily drinker because it lacks the traditional bourbon flavor that I enjoy however at the same time there is nothing wrong with this whiskey at all but if your budget is tight I would not be upset missing out on this but if you see it out at a restaurant give it a try for fun but if you can afford it it’s a fun addition to my whisky collection for the unique character. I hope that answers your question and doesn’t leave you with more. If you want to ask more feel free
