Tasting Notes

About:

This straight Kentucky bourbon whiskey is “from barrels all filled during the same season was bottled at exactly 100 proof.” It’s a no age statement bourbon, though the distillery described it as “well aged,” and a 750 mL bottle is priced at around $36.
Appearance:
The color of a rich wildflower honey. It thinly coats and clings to the glass.
Nose:
Top notes of honeysuckle and clover honey, rounded out with char, vanilla oak and an herby brightness. Spice rumbles beneath the surface.
Palate:
Warm and full, and more mouth-forward. The aromas are brought through in the flavor, with a layered maple and coffee-toffee sweetness and oak grounded by an earthy quality. The finish lingers, with a smooth yet spicy and savory buzz.
Finish:
Comments:
If you’re a fan of 1792 bourbon, you’ll likely enjoy this. It’s well-balanced, nuanced and versatile, and holds its own when sipped neat, with a small rock or two, as well as with a couple of drops of bitters.
