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.
White chocolate, buttery corn, polished oak and dried fruit. A subtle whisper of cinnamon and coffee.
Rounded red fruit (think cherries and strawberries), with balancing salted butter and toasted rye spice.
A mellow finish of charred oak and honey.
$32.63 - $96.66
Certainly not bourbon, but this is really tasty. Good proof, sweet, and very smooth. You will get some floral/light honey notes right up front on the taste, so it first tastes more like scotch. The finish is surprisingly fairly long on it, and that is where you get the bourbon flavors coming in with some light spice and subdued vanilla and caramel. It has a nice creamy mouth feel. This would be a great one to serve to a beginner, but has enough flavor and uniqueness to be interesting to an experienced whiskey drinker.
Very bright and shiny, with an artificial fruit notes. Finish is very alcohol fumes with a hint of honey. Not for my palet.
