An absolutely cracking American whiskey from the Boondocks range, helmed by Dave Scheurich, former master distiller of Woodford Reserve. This expression is made with a combo heavy in corn, along with helpings of rye and malt, and matured for 11 years before bottling. It's not quite a bourbon, as it was distilled to a higher strength than allowed for bourbon (which is 160 proof, or 80% ABV), and matured in used charred white oak bourbon barrels (rather than brand new ones). Doesn't stop it from being excellent stuff, mind.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose White chocolate, buttery corn, polished oak and dried fruit. A subtle whisper of cinnamon and coffee.
Palate Rounded red fruit (think cherries and strawberries), with balancing salted butter and toasted rye spice.
Finish A mellow finish of charred oak and honey.
