Intro:
Sourced from distilleries in Indiana, Kentucky and Tennessee, this release features whiskey at the 6, 7, 10, 15 and 16 year old age range, that are all blended. As a result, the age statement reflects 6 Years, the youngest component, and features bottling at barrel proof.
-
Nose:
Bold, buttery, toffee. Pure buttery popcorn, spice drops, candied nuts and a nice wafting oak scent.
-
Taste:
Rich on the palate, loaded with honey and praline once more. Brown sugar, toffee, cookie batter, toasted almond and sweet oak. Great mouthfeel, proof seems placed well. Yum.
-
Finish:
Long finish, hits all the right notes. Lingers on the palate, quite a bit of honey, leather, tobacco, bright butterscotch.
-
Overall:
Delectable - a lighter profile that uses oak and a sweet, dessert character and texture to impress. These batches always raise questions with drinkers, particularly wondering whether batches are vibrantly different from release to release, and the answer is a resounding yes.
