Whisky Advocate 93
Scan the dessert case and choose your favorite, because they're all here in abundance: cake donuts, sticky buns, pralines, cocoa-dusted truffles, and strawberry tarts on the nose. Espresso, tea, and spice notes add some gravitas to the palate, which is chewy and oak forward, but dark fruit, milk chocolate, and sweet pecans and peanuts maintain balance. The finish is a dream, lengthy and well-developed, with nutmeg, chai spice, toasted oak, tea leaf, milk chocolate, and boysenberry.

Technical Details
History
Filibuster Distillery is a woman and minority owned business with the soul of a small family enterprise. Born in D.C. and now located in Virginia, a true American pioneer. The business began on the corner of 9th, not far from the Capitol, so Filibuster was a natural name choice. They wanted to lampoon the intensity of the political culture in D.C. Maybe if everyone just talked it out over a few drinks, things would go more smoothly?
Tasting notes
The unique and limited production Single Estate Bourbon is bottled at 110-120 proof. Aged for 2 years in a single oak barrel. The appearance is a deep, rich amber color with nice balanced aromas of vanilla, spice, sweet fruit, fresh oak and delicate corn notes. It has a very complex palate of leather, pecans, burnt vanilla, oak and caramel with a very long and elegant finish.
