JFC One Barrel [No. 42] 6-Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whisky

This bourbon announces itself with an explicit and well-earned bravado the moment you bring it to your nose. Toasted oak so pronounced the only thing that comes to mind is Texas cowboy bourbon. Whispers of warm caramel, apple and cinnamon candy provide delicious depth to carry the notes of barrel char. This same Wild West intensity carries through the palate with earth, cider and spiced cinnamon, while notes of creamy melted butter softens the edges just enough to keep you coming back for sip after sip.
 
With 131 proof, this baby is built for the nights you’re craving power over nuance. Among the boldest pours in the One Barrel lineup, where No. 54 resolves toward silk, this one is unapologetically structured front to back with fresh, new oak tannin intensity.
