For a simplified three-drink bourbon flight ideal for beginners, you can include a range of flavors and profiles to help them explore bourbon’s diversity. Here’s a Woodjuice suggestion:
1. **Buffalo Trace**: A widely available and approachable bourbon, Buffalo Trace offers flavors of caramel, vanilla, and a touch of spice.
2. **Maker’s Mark**: Known for its sweeter, full-bodied profile with notes of caramel, toffee, and a hint of fruitiness, Maker’s Mark is another beginner-friendly option.
3. **Wild Turkey 101**: This bourbon introduces a bit more boldness and spice, giving beginners a taste of a higher-proof bourbon with robust flavors of caramel and spice.
Honorable Mention: Feel free to substitute any one of the above with Evan Williams Bottled-in-bond. A lush gold nose with the seemingly always present appearance of caramel with hiding a faint citrus flair. On the palate look for vanilla and oak, slight barley.
This flight will provide a good introduction to the world of bourbon, from the milder and sweeter to the spicier and bolder, allowing beginners to explore their preferences. Enjoy responsibly!
