It's been awhile, but let's talk about Fierce Whiskers new 3 year release!

First whiff, and you're hit with a subtle dance of oak and pecan, with whispers of vanilla and frosting. Red licorice sneaks in, adding a bit of a twist to the aroma.

The palate, it's corn-forward, no doubt about it, but then comes a zesty kick of citrus and cherry bitters, followed by some oak and a hint of cinnamon. It's like sipping on a corn forward Old Fashioned.

A medium finish with cinnamon and some sweetness like simple syrup, with barely a whisper of heat. Now, for a bourbon aged a mere three years in the scorching heat of Texas, you'd expect a fiery explosion of white pepper and oak. But Fierce Whiskers managed to pull off a surprise. It's like they've bottled up a corn-forward cocktail, with the young notes taking a backseat while citrus and cherry bitterness steal the show.

Over all, while still a young bourbon, this would still do great as a mixer.
