- TASTING NOTES
Youcan taste the rich sweetness of the corn, and feel the mouth-coating softness of the wheat. There’s a refined, country-style dessert soul to this whiskey, as if someone’s tried to fuse crème brûlée and corn pudding and hit it with a sprinkling of nutmeg. This bourbon is still bright and lively enough to remind you that, yes, it was once white lightning (unaged whiskey) but Big Level’s resume of barrel experience fills the page now—just the right balance of burnt sugar for depth, and caramel for roundness, with room to expand. It’s crisp, but rich at just the right times
