Yellow Rose Outlaw Bourbon (70cl, 46%)

Outlaw Bourbon from Yellow Rose over in Texas is produced exclusively from Texas yellow corn in a pot still. It’s then aged in small American oak barrels in Houston, where the temperature fluctuations give it an angel share of 15% a year (for comparison, in Scotland it’s around 2%), before it’s all bottled up at 46% ABV.

Nose: A hint of floral oak, with a drizzle of caramel and oak char in there too.

Palate: Buttery caramel, toffee popcorn and vanilla with a hint of marshmallow.

Finish: Treacle and more of that lingering oak char.
