Final Thoughts
The hallmark of the brand, Small Batch delivers a classic bourbon experience at 94 proof. On the nose, caramel, vanilla, toasted oak, and baking spices greet with warmth. The palate brings rich flavors of honey, toffee, dark fruit, cinnamon, and nutmeg, layered over a silky texture. Medium-to-full-bodied, it finishes with oak, clove, and subtle smoke. Versatile and approachable, it’s excellent neat or with a splash of water. A bourbon that defines balance, it pairs beautifully with BBQ ribs, pecan pie, or aged cheddar, making it an essential bottle for both newcomers and seasoned drinkers.
