The high proof is present but well-integrated, suggesting depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e A viscous, mouth-coating entry immediately delivers a surge of butterscotch and rich toffee. This is quickly followed by an explosion of dark cherry and blackcurrant, intertwining with robust oak tannins, dark chocolate, and a medley of warm spices – black pepper, clove, and a touch of ginger. A faint nutty character, perhaps almond or pecan, emerges in the mid-palate, complemented by a persistent sweetness that avoids being cloying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long, warm, and lingering, the finish extends with waves of caramel and dry oak. Peppery spice slowly fades into a pleasant, drying tannic embrace, leaving behind echoes of dark fruit, aged leather, and a whisper of espresso. The high proof contributes to a satisfying warmth that dissipates gracefully, inviting another sip.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Reserve","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48606396874970,"sku":"NDC-00062","price":2010.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0656\/8263\/7018\/files\/2016_Willett_Astor_704_Family_Estate_Bottled_Single_Barrel_Bourbon_116.8_Proof_750ml-1.jpg?v=1789491472","url":"https:\/\/takeyourpickliquors.com\/products\/2016-willett-astor-704-family-estate-bottled-single-barrel-bourbon-116-8-proof-750ml","provider":"Take Your Pick Liquors","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
