Cathead Distillery Old Soul Bourbon Estate Collection #3 Review
A couple things stand out before you’ve even taken a sip of this seven-year-old bourbon, crafted grain to grass completely in Mississippi. Its mashbill includes sorghum (as opposed to malted barley) and it is pot distilled. Perhaps due to the latter — and a low barrel entry proof — there’s a real richness in texture and mouthfeel. The nose is a bit vegetal and earthy with notes of pink Bubble Yum. The palate has a certain rum-y quality, with fruit cake and roasted nuts. This all leads to a finish that is almost Fireball-like, with a lingering cinnamon spiciness. Truly unique and utterly delightful.
