Saint Cloud Kentucky Bourbon

Tasting Notes

About:

3 years old, 120 proof, non-chill filtered. Undisclosed mash bill of corn, rye, malted barley. $93 MSRP for a 750ml bottle
Appearance:
Tawny
Nose:
A distinct wave of citrus, bergamot, and candied fruits emanate from the glass.
Palate:
Oily arrival with a burst of orange zest, pannetone, and peppery spice. Spice and citrus notes linger into a fairly long finish.
Finish:
Comments:
Batch One has officially sold out, so your chances of seeing this in the wild are slim (there are still some bottles floating around retail, that being said). The French oak imparts some nice signature spice, and comes together with the mash to make a uniquely zesty pour. rnrnIt almost reminds me of a less complex attempt at High West’s A Mid Winter Night’s Dram series, with the citrusy, holiday desert notes. If experimentation is up your alley, seek a pour if you can find one, and stay tuned for future releases.
