Tasting Notes

About:

An absolute classic whiskey. A foundation product of everything the industry is built on, with it’s many social calls to fame as well. A favourite of Frank Sinatra (he’s even buried with a bottle), Keith Richard’s and Jimmy Page – this bottle has about as much rock ’n’ roll history associated to it as you could want. Also, one of the most warded whiskies in the modern world, too.
Appearance:
Golden Brown
Nose:
The classic notes of charcoal filtered Tennessee goodness. Banana bread, brown sugar, caramel, toffee, a little toffee apple, a slight hint of malted barley that gives it a biscuit like taste, too.
Palate:
You feel those little drying elements of charcoal filtering and the warmth of American oak influences. Outside of this slightly drying notes, you still tase all of these wonderful corn driven flavour profiles Caramel, toasted sugars, more banana bread notes, and a little oaky spice that rounds off those sweet notes to something more adult.
Finish:
Here’s the oak! It is toasty, warming, gently spicy and carries loads of flavour across your palate. You still get a little bit of those sweeter notes, but that gentle delivery of heat across the back of your throat is oh-so pleasing.
Comments:
I love this stuff. I always have a bottle of it in the house for neat drinks and mixing. Everyone likes it, its so widely available, it’s just a seriously good quality bottle of affordable whisky.
