Subtler notes of baking spice, perhaps a touch of cinnamon and nutmeg, emerge with air, along with a whisper of fresh hay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e The palate is remarkably smooth for its proof, delivering a harmonious blend of flavors. Sweet caramel and butterscotch lead the charge, immediately followed by soft vanilla and a well-integrated oak presence that avoids harshness. A gentle warmth builds as hints of dried fruit, particularly fig and prune, mingle with a subtle nuttiness. The 'sour mash' character hints at a pleasant tang that provides balance, preventing it from being overly sweet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e The finish is medium in length, clean, and quite elegant. It leaves a lingering sweetness of roasted marshmallow and a mild, pleasant warmth that fades gracefully, accompanied by a touch of baking spice and a whisper of toasted oak. There's a subtle return of that dried fruit note, making for a satisfying conclusion.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Reserve","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48231840809178,"sku":"BOURBON-1784212679975","price":162.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0656\/8263\/7018\/files\/main_dfcfa931-c0a0-4e37-a375-ffcba92b1801.png?v=1784295692","url":"https:\/\/takeyourpickliquors.com\/products\/1978-michters-original-sour-mash-whiskey-86-proof-1ml","provider":"Take Your Pick Liquors","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
