Lux Row Four Grain Double Single Barrel Bourbon review

Tasting Notes

About:

57.5% ABV; wheated barrel: number 8119674 and filled 08/14/18, ryed barrel: number 8086566 and filled 07/11/18; aged minimum 4 years; 750mL
Appearance:
No legs to speak of, very translucent, medium amber with an olive green tint
Nose:
A bit of a warm nose. Surprisingly earthy with notes of both fresh grass and violets, not much indicator of the softness or spice that’s about to come.
Palate:
Very light texture, an herbal sort of start with a hint of myrrh moves quickly into baking spice on the end in a light but slightly lingering finish. The lightest breath of caramel sits on top of the other notes.
Finish:
Comments:
I like this – it’s easy but still interesting. You absolutely get the benefit of all of the grains involved, and it’s clear to see where the flavors are coming from. The rye makes for a very spicy and warm whiskey, but the corn and wheat lend enough softening that this whiskey doesn’t get too hot. rnrnMy score for this whiskey places it in the category of solid expression, tastes good, but not distinguished enough to bump up a star. Still, you won’t find me sad to be drinking it!
