Tom's Foolery Bonded Bourbon

Tom’s Foolery Bonded Bourbon is an interesting spice driven whiskey that’s a bit unconventional for a bourbon and ends up being quite nice. My first couple sips I wasn’t the biggest fan, but I found myself being drawn to it the more I sipped. No I wasn’t just getting drunk, as I sat and sipped the character of the whisky unfolded and I went from mildly indifferent to enjoying it and the second glass was even better.

I should caveat this by saying that Tom’s Foolery Bonded Bourbon isn’t like most conventional bourbons. Tom’s is a baking spice and grain driven character rather than a dark oak driven character. This grain and spice forward nature puts it at that right intersection of unique and weird that makes me smile. I really like what the folks at Tom’s Foolery are doing and I hope that they keep doing it. This is a bourbon that’s definitely worth at least getting a taste of.
