Tasting Notes

Nose

Some muted orange, vanilla, oak, brown sugar and stone fruit here – nothing in particular stands out.

Palate

Flavors run across the palate of baking bread, black spice, brown sugar, almond paste, caramel and a bit of vanilla. The finish is ok, a little sweet and hot at the end.

Finish

Comments: Latest On The Whiskey Wash blend of five, six and eight year bourbons (Indiana high rye, Kentucky high malt); bottled at 51% ABV; $64.99

We turn our attention to Highline Bourbon bottled at 51% ABV; $64. At $64.99, it enters a competitive field.

Palate

Flavors run across the palate of baking bread, black spice, brown sugar, almond paste, caramel and a bit of vanilla. The finish is ok, a little sweet and hot at the end.

Finish

I greatly appreciate the direction Highline Spirits is taking in challenging industry norms across multiple facets. That being said, Highline Bourbon, in of itself, is not particularly remarkable for me to warrant giving it a high score. The overall flavor profile needs more development to stand out from the pack.

Verdict

Highline Bourbon is a modest offering that, at $64.99, serves its purpose without distinction. Those seeking depth or complexity may wish to look elsewhere in this price bracket.
