This whiskey is aged three years in new American oak barrels with a #3 char after having first been distilled at 150% proof. It is later bottled at 80 proof. Having won a Gold medal at the 2013 Bourbon Competition they have a winning combination here of bold flavors and refined finish.
Here are my tasting notes for the C.W. Irwin Bourbon:
Color- medium honey, golden and rich
Nose- leather, caramel, spice- all spice, pepper, vanilla
Palate- smooth, bite of heat and spice, butterscotch
Finish- finish is short to medium, pepper, leather, wood, vanilla
I give this bourbon a score of 88. A very nice whiskey for $28.00.
