Tasting Notes:
About:
This is a blend of two six-year bourbons (Kentucky low rye and Indiana high rye) finished in French and American oak casks. It is bottled at 103 proof and priced at $69.99.
Appearance:
A warm amber with some reddish-orange overtones showcases well in the glass, reflecting moderate legs and viscosity.
Nose:
The nose offers well-rounded considerations of baking spice and oak alongside dried apricots, green apples, a hint of bubble gum, brown sugar, and a touch of maple.
Palate:
This opens on the palate with rich gingerbread cookies and a bit of baking spice, complemented by a nice oak nod, a good amount of vanilla, pears, apricots, coriander, and a kiss of brown sugar.
Finish:
The finish is fruity and spicy, offering a slightly moderate drop-off at the end.
