More to Enjoy
-
Intro:
Distilled by an undisclosed producer, this batch features 6yr, 9yr and 12yr Kentucky bourbon's blended and then finished in a variety of casks. This is chapter 2, and features finishing in Apera Sherry and Dark Rum casks.
-
Nose:
Sweet, berry forward. Nutty, sherry driven. Fresh baked bread, toffee, honey, heather, raisin bread, cigar box. Opulent.
-
Taste:
Rich on the palate. Syrupy texture, opulent once more. A bit of ethanol here, though the proof is slightly higher than Chapter 1. Black currant, date fruit, cocoa and rich nougat. Powerful.
-
Finish:
Long finish, the heat presents itself here once more, more fiery than the first. The flavor is dialed up, very sherry forward but enjoyable all the same.
-
Overall:
A bit less of a well painted portrait here on this release, the introduction of the Apera sherry tips the scales in sweetness' favor here. A very good release no less, and a strong invitation to try the others.
