Ranger Creek .36

That’s “.36” as in ’36 caliber’ the first of this Texas distiller’s Small Caliber Series of Texas bourbon whiskeys. Sharpish on the nose with some hot alcohol cinnamon and oak warmed by burnt sugar and vanilla. A kick of hot oak spice on the tongue a flush of hot dry corn and flashes of mint and vanilla then a long spicy finish with more dry mint. One of the better young bourbons — only 8 months — I’ve had. Price is per 375 ml.
