Nose

Right away, the nose opens with a rich wave of oak and dusty character layered with a note similar to the unmistakable Wild Turkey funk. Beneath it sits a sugary sweetness that leans candy-like, while a soft peppery warmth lingers in the background without ever becoming harsh. It’s expressive, bold, and immediately lets you know this pour means business.

Palate

The palate follows the nose beautifully, delivering a bold and vibrant experience from start to finish. Alongside the oak and funk are deeper notes of plum and worn leather that add richness and complexity. What really stands out, though, is the sweet influence of a strawberry dipped in honey, giving the pour a unique balance between power and sweetness. Even at a hazmat-level 146.9 proof, the Kansas City hug remains surprisingly controlled and never overwhelming.

Finish

The finish is where this pour truly shines. It immediately brings to mind Russell’s Reserve 15 Year Bourbon, but with amplified strawberry and honey notes woven throughout the experience. It’s long, bold, and incredibly vibrant, delivering wave after wave of flavor without losing balance. This is the kind of pour that commands your attention while still remaining dangerously enjoyable.
