Intro:
"On the water, no matter the size of the fleet, there is only one flagship. That title is reserved for the finest vessel, one that outshines the rest. The same is true of this bottle. Chosen for its extraordinary character, this limited release bourbon is our finest spirit of the year." -- A blend of 10 barrels of hand chosen stock, Ingram doesn't give too much more info about the stats on this bourbon, other than the 100pf bottling ABV. Distilled at MGP, bottled in Kentucky.
-
Nose:
Light and sweet, peaches, pears, brown sugar, honey and a touch of almond. Light on oak, a touch sweet.
-
Taste:
Moderate mouthfeel, light oak, a touch of honey. Sweet, a touch of apple and brown sugar. Moderate oak, not exceedingly tannic or complex.
-
Finish:
Medium to long finish. Light, sweet, fruit driven with a toasted oak and maple syrup vibe on the finish.
-
Overall:
Quite pleasant! Not wildly complex, but the spirit is still young. Plenty of potential, a bit going on, and enjoyable in its state now. I look forward to comparing the vintages as they proceed and watching Ingram's progress as they age.
