Wathen's Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon
The Medley family has a long storied history when it comes to bourbon distillation. They’ve been a family of master distillers going back 8 generations. In fact, they play up that fact front and center on the label of this bourbon with a big number 8, which at first glance can almost be mistaken for an age statement. However don’t let that 8 on the bottle fool you into thinking it’s an age statement, this is most certainly a NAS Bourbon.

Tasting Notes
Nose: sweet but not saccharine Balanced body with nothing that really stands out. It's nice.
Tightly wound with some nutmeg and cinnamon. Gets spicy with a drop of water, though a bit thin and with just a touch of headache coming later.
Tastes entirely like boiled peanuts
