The Whiskey
"In the world of bourbon flavors, there are really only about a couple dozen flavors that naturally occur through the distillation process and from interaction with the oak of a barrel. Orange is one of them and many people prize bottles that contain a lot of it. I view finishing bourbon in VDN barrels as a way to just accentuate the orange note, which is why I ultimately enjoyed this bottle. So if you are a person who also enjoys the fruit-forward notes in your bourbon, then Starlight’s VDN finished bourbon may be for you." - Quote by "Mike & Mike" https://thebourbonculture.com/whiskey-reviews/starlight-distillery-vdn-finished-single-barrel-bourbon/
