We turn our attention to Highline Bourbon bottled at 51% ABV; $64. At $64.99, it enters a competitive field.
Palate
Flavors run across the palate of baking bread, black spice, brown sugar, almond paste, caramel and a bit of vanilla. The finish is ok, a little sweet and hot at the end.
Finish
I greatly appreciate the direction Highline Spirits is taking in challenging industry norms across multiple facets. That being said, Highline Bourbon, in of itself, is not particularly remarkable for me to warrant giving it a high score. The overall flavor profile needs more development to stand out from the pack.
Verdict
Highline Bourbon is a modest offering that, at $64.99, serves its purpose without distinction. Those seeking depth or complexity may wish to look elsewhere in this price bracket.
