High Wire Jimmy Red Single Barrel Bourbon 122.4 proof - Selected by Mash & Journey

Tasting Notes:

Nose:
The aroma opens with inviting notes of strawberries and cream, layered with warm caramel and butterscotch candy. Accents of burnt orange and red licorice add brightness, while baker’s chocolate and a sweeter oak profile provide depth. Subtle hints of buttered popcorn and well-integrated baking spices round out the nose, creating a rich and comforting introduction.

Palate:
The palate closely mirrors the nose, beginning with an immediate wave of baking spices and allspice. Spiced burnt orange and butterscotch lead the charge, followed by red licorice and buttered popcorn. Mid-palate reveals cherry and strawberry fruit pie notes alongside barrel char and classic rickhouse character. The sip finishes with spicy honey-sweet tea and a late emergence of baker’s chocolate, delivering a long, velvety finish.

Overall Impression:
A richly layered, dessert-leaning bourbon with warmth and spice throughout—an excellent winter sipper with a luxurious mouthfeel and lingering finish.

Cheers
