PAPER TRAIL. #1997 12-K-02. W: A FL: 2 R: NR11 BE: 103. MB: 79c 7r 14mb. This one doesnât ease in, it announces itself immediately. The nose is saturated with sweetness: caramel in all its forms, layered honey, and a burst of citrus candy that leans toward torched orange peel. Candied fruit follows in waves, dried red fruits, gummy citrus, even a touch of candy corn. Itâs unapologetic from the start; thereâs no mistaking the profile, this is a full-on sweet bomb. . The palate doesnât just meet expectations, it exceeds them. The texture is the story here: dense, coating, and almost decadent. It rolls across the palate in slow waves of vanilla cream, confectionerâs sugar, and a kaleidoscope of candied fruitâthink citrus drops, red licorice, and rainbow sprinkles folded into a rich, dessert-like core. Thereâs a softness to it, but not a lack of structure; the oak and alcohol are seamlessly integrated, providing just enough framework to keep things from tipping into excess. . As we dug deeper into the sample, the missing details led us back to a key factor: a 103 barrel entry proof. That lower entry proof shows itself clearly in the final productâthis is a whiskey built on extraction of sugars and texture rather than aggressive tannin or spice. The result is a bourbon that leans fully into richness and mouthfeel, delivering a lush, almost indulgent experience from start to finish. . This isnât a whiskey chasing balance in the traditional sense, itâs chasing pleasure. And for those who appreciate a deeply sweet, textural bourbon, it gets there in a big way.
