More to Enjoy
-
Intro:
Aged for 4 years at Starlight in Indiana, this bourbon is finished in a honey cask and bottled specially for Seelbach’s - a specialty retailer in DC. Bottled at cask strength, 53% ABV.
-
Nose:
Sweet, enticing. Honey nut cheerios on the nose. Sweet confectioners sugar, butter pecan, butterscotch ice cream topping. All sweet, not cloying, but pretty clearly honey influenced.
-
Taste:
Medium viscosity on the palate, loads of honey and toffee. Sweet, though a bit hot for 53% ABV - especially on the back of the throat. Honey, honey, honey. Some light oak, some rising bread.
-
Finish:
Long finish, sweet and honey forward, loads of butterscotch candies, a light touch of oak and ethanol. The honey hangs for quite some time on the back of the throat.
-
Overall:
This is pure honey, all day long. It’s sweet, while not cloying, it’s sweet. Very sweet and naturally honey forward. If you love honey, wish your bourbon drank a touch on the fiery side and was clearly honey heavy, this is for you. If you love bitter, bold, tannic drams, this is not for you.
