There is a lot to like about Proof And Wood Crossborder Jackpot Whiskey on paper. At 53.5% ABV), bottled in Bardstown, Kentucky, let us see if it lives up to expectations.
Nose
The aromas is woody, with notes of caramel, tangy citrus, and black pepper.
Palate
A crisp, spicy palate, with cinnamon as well as malty and piney notes. It has a medium to long finish.
Finish
At 107 proof it may be a bit strong for someone new to whiskey, but for the tried and true enthusiast it provides a robust complexity that tastes even better on the rocks.
The Bottom Line
Proof And Wood Crossborder Jackpot Whiskey delivers the goods. It is well-made, genuinely enjoyable, and represents solid value for what you are getting. I would happily buy this again.
