Ranger Creek .36 Single Barrel (barrel #503)

The .36 Small Caliber was one of the best young small-barrel bourbons I’ve ever had so I was very much looking forward to this 3 year 8 month old bottling from “traditional large barrels.” Aroma: like a 12 year old bourbon: oak spice corn sweet. Not hot spice and vanilla smooth but oaky with a light flowing feel. A unique combination of youth and maturity that opens the “Texas whiskey” niche a bit wider. (Spec’s exclusive)
