Description
Aroma
Initial Impression: The initial nose might surprise you. Instead of the typical heavy oak or caramel aromas of bourbon, Steamboat offers a lighter and fruitier profile.
Fruity Notes: Look for hints of fresh red berries, like strawberries or raspberries. Some tasters even pick up subtle citrus notes like orange peel.
Subtle Spices: Beneath the fruitiness, there’s a whisper of baking spices, like cinnamon and allspice.
Palate
Mouthfeel: The first sip reveals a smooth and creamy mouthfeel, thanks to a slightly lower proof compared to other bourbons.
Flavor Profile: The initial sweetness comes from familiar bourbon notes of vanilla and caramel, but then the red berry character takes center stage. It’s not overpowering, but a delightful surprise that complements the vanilla and caramel. Hints of black pepper or allspice might emerge, adding a touch of warmth.
Finish
Length: The finish is medium-length, leaving a lingering sweetness and a touch of warming spice. The red berry note subtly lingers as well.
