Tasting Notes: Ruddell's Mill Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. Vital Stats: 92.2 Proof, 46.1% ABV, Bottle No. 02089, Batch 0321, 750ml, $57 Appearance: Light golden caramel, no legs to speak of. Nose: Sweet banana and bubblegum pop up right away, moving into a fresh pastry finish. Palate: Thin in texture. A very similar experience to the nose with a sweeter start of banana muffins.
