This wheated bourbon has cracked our Top 20 list before, and the latest edition continues delivering big, bewitching flavors. On the nose, dates, maple syrup, a little leather, and baking spice reign supreme. This one handles its proof beautifully, and the palate is rich with chocolate-raspberry Ghirardelli squares, raisins, cinnamon stick, and barrel char. It all ends on a sweeter, warming note, as the char fades into toasted sugar, red berries, and more baking spice.
