This is not your entry-level bourbon. This is the bourbon that shows up late to the dinner party, kicks the door open, and says, “Did someone order flavor?”

Nose: Lemon, lavender, hibiscus, cinnamon, cherry, and tea — basically a botanical garden got drunk and made a potpourri cocktail. It’s complex, it’s aromatic, and honestly, it smells better than most people you know.

Palate: Crème brûlée is the star here — caramelized sugar, vanilla custard, and a warm biscuit just chilling underneath like it’s brunch in a barrel. The cask strength really kicks it into overdrive, turning up the volume on every note. Not subtle. Not sorry.

Finish: Did we mention it’s cask strength? Because yeah, it finishes like it’s trying to remind you it has opinions. Bold, warm, and lingering — like a good roast or a bad ex.

Final Thoughts: Single barrel means each one’s a little different, but they all seem to share one common trait: zero chill. If you like your bourbon sweet, loud, and unapologetically intense, Lost Republic Cask Strength is your kind of trouble.

Approach with enthusiasm. And maybe a glass of water on the side.
