2022 Yellowstone Limited Edition Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Tasting Notes

About:

101 proof; mash bill of 7-year, 15-year and 16-year bourbons; about $100.
Appearance:
Light caramel color. To continue the Italian theme, it’s the same color as a slightly too-crisp biscotti dunked several times in coffee.
Nose:
This one’s subtle, light on the nose, it whispers like a soft-talker. It is the opposite of shout. I get the hint of something fruity from the Marsala: fig, dried mango. And nutty: almonds, not roasted. . I get white pepper, too. And ginger. It’s louder on the
Palate:
Fruity on the palate as well as the nose. I get white pepper, too. And ginger. It’s louder on the palate than on the nose. It’s a loud talker. This tastes a little jangly upfront; a couple dribbles of water or an ice cube or two helps. There’s energy. It bites. It’s a mixer. I want this also to be smooth and this tastes like it’s not quite there.
Finish:
Comments:
It’s fine, but like the other Yellowstone I’ve tasted, it’s just not my favorite. I find it serviceable, but I’m not overwhelmed and wanting to hoard this.
