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.

Kinsey Bourbon’s strongest attributes are that it has so much malted barley and you can really taste it in the flavor profile.

It’s great to support the local distilleries and this is a pretty solid bottle to sip on.

Is Kinsey Bourbon priced accurately to its quality?

The price for Kinsey Bourbon is pretty solid and I think this bottle delivers on its $40 price tag.

Conclusion for Kinsey Bourbon Whiskey

Kinsey Bourbon Whiskey has an interesting balance of flavors that is fun to explore as I continue to sip on this glass.

After the initial sip, the spiciness mellows out a bit and I get a bit more of the sweetness and subtle flavor notes.
