Is Kinsey Bourbon an Approachable Whiskey?
Kinsey Bourbon has a bit of heat to it.
Since it is 95 Proof, the spice and pepper notes really carry through and light up your taste buds.
Beginners will want to add a bit of water to this one to help cool it down.
Is Kinsey Bourbon Complex?
Kinsey Bourbon Whiskey has a few layers of flavor to it.
Since it is nearly as much corn as it is malted barley, you really get a lot of the earthy, malt, cereal grain flavor notes along with the sweetness from the corn.
It works out pretty well and creates a balance between sweet and spicy that sips well if you add a tiny bit of water to it.
If you don’t add water, you’ll get more of the spicy kick and the spice and pepper will edge out the sweetness.
