Laws Whiskey House 2023 Four Grain Bottled in Bond Bourbon bottled at 100 proof — a $79.99 expression that merits close attention.
Nose
This liquid is very clear amber with a copper cast, that beads and slowly and forms legs.
Palate
The first whiff is light Elmers glue. Sweet banana mingled with sarsaparilla and cinnamon; lumber-in-a-chop-saw warmth, a hint of maple syrup lurks underneath. Sandalwood comes through as it rests. This whiskey is feisty on the approach, dry with plenty of spice on the mid palate. Find slightly bitter leather on the medium finish.
Finish
This release from Laws Whiskey House is a decent effort. The experience is not especially complex, and you feel every bit of the proof, but well made and clean overall. I look forward to more releases as they keep their standards of production high.
Verdict
Laws Whiskey House 2023 Four Grain Bottled in Bond Bourbon represents solid craftsmanship at $79.99. While it may not redefine expectations, it offers genuine quality and reliable drinking pleasure.
