Kentucky Bourbon Pure XO

Pure Kentucky XO is a small batch bourbon produced in... Well, it's produced in Kentucky. Obviously. The expression does well on the spice front and isn't overly sweet, making it a fabulous contender for a Manhattan.

Nose: Slightly herbal oak, with dried apricot, building oak spice and honeyed cinnamon, along with a dash of maple syrup.

Palate: More cinnamon spice returns on the palate, with a good helping of toffee, clove-studded orange, peppery oak and toasted corn.

Finish: Vanilla and white pepper on an oily, sweetcorn finish.

ABV: 53.5%

Size: 70cl
