Larrikin Bourbon Company - Larrikin Rosewater Bourbon Lawrenceburg, Kentucky, USA NOSE: Lightly floral top notes of rose petals, underlying vanilla, honeyed caramel, and soft oak. PALATE: Rosewater essence up front—subtle, not soapy, more like rose candy or Turkish delight. Mid-palate brings brown sugar, vanilla bean, and gentle spice from the bourbon base. A touch of dried fruit (raisin or date) emerges behind the floral note FINISH: Smooth and medium short, with lingering rose-laced sweetness fading into classic bourbon warmth (light baking spice, toasted oak). NOTES: Proof & Age: 90 proof (45% ABV); blend of 5- and 6 year Kentucky bourbons. Proofed down using house-made rosewater (steeped real rose petals) instead of plain water. Best enjoyed neat or in cocktails that benefit from a floral accent (e.g., a twist on a Boulevardier or a floral Old Fashioned).
