We turn our attention to Mile High Spirits Fireside Bottled In Bond Bourbon bottled at 100 proof. At $49.99, it enters a competitive field.
Nose
This liquid is amber and coats the glass and slowly condenses into legs. This whiskey has such a subtle and compact nose, even after resting in the glass. Peach gummy rings next to a Shortbread Season scented candle and a slight woodiness like the inside of a drawer.
Finish
Sweet on the attack, the flavor rounds out to grain character with zingy clove and white pepper. The medium-short finish speaks of smoky almonds before black tea bitterness steps in.
Verdict
Mile High Spirits Fireside Bottled In Bond Bourbon is a modest offering that, at $49.99, serves its purpose without distinction. Those seeking depth or complexity may wish to look elsewhere in this price bracket.
