Intro:
Separate from the brand's other releases, Ingram River Aged Straight Bourbon Whiskey features a wheated mashbill and an increase in proof, along with the Straight Bourbon designation for the brand. O.H. Ingram builds their legacy on their method of maturation - barrels rest on barges and are influenced by the motion of the vessels rather than standing stationary in a land-based rickhouse. Let's dive in.
-
Nose:
Sweet and buttery on the nose, toffee, nougat and sweet buttercream. Praline, touch of espresso, sweet butterscotch, light oak.
-
Taste:
Moderate mouthfeel, sweet buttercream and honey. Pancake syrup, toffee, light apple crisp notes. Light on the oak, a touch of maple candies. Light and sweet throughout, pleasant and easy to sip.
-
Finish:
Long finish, a touch of cinnamon and sugar, plum and apple pie, a touch of tannin.
-
Overall:
Quite the leap forward for Ingram, a brand that's clearly been coming into its own but has yet to strike greatness. This release demonstrates the brand's potential, in what is easily their best bottling yet.
