Join Wayne and Rebecca on Your Bourbon Journey as we track down a rare mythological creature in whiskey form: Shortbarrel Sapsquatch (Batch SB-2)!
Grabbed from the allocated shelves at The Party Source, this 6-year straight bourbon blend is finished for an extra 6 months in Kelvin Cooperage toasted barrels and authentic Vermont maple syrup barrels with sugar maple wood spirals. Coming in at 108.6 proof (54.3% ABV), does this $89.99 release turn into an overly sweet syrup bomb, or does the toasted oak keep it balanced, creamy, and complex?
Watch as we break down the nose, viscous mouthfeel, layered palate of toasted pancakes and cinnamon, and the finish to decide if this Shortbarrel release deserves a spot on your home bar. Scott, if you’re watching, crack your bottle open already!
