Charcoal & Cornmeal & Rickhouses & a Decade 10 Year Old
Feast your eyes on Charcoal & Cornmeal & Rickhouses & a Decade, a 10 year old bourbon whiskey! People who sit at the centre of the Venn diagram of 'bourbon boffins' and 'ampersand aficionados' ought to be rather excited about this expression. Honestly, you don't even have to like ampersands, or any punctuation really – but if you love brilliant bourbon, you're in the right place. The label may be quite understated, but it certainly states some of the main elements of this well-aged whiskey, and it doesn't disappoint. Great value for a bourbon with a 10 year old age statement, too (particularly as bourbon with an age statement isn't quite as common a sight as it once was).
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Freshly baked oatmeal raisin cookies, treacle tarts, brown butter, a few hints of pine resin and charred oak before returning to vanilla fudge sweetness.
Palate
Peanut brittle, brioche dipped in coffee, a crackle of nutmeg and black pepper. Just a smidge of raspberry in there too.
Finish
Buttered popcorn, liquorice, cooked apple, a softly sweet spiciness sticks around.
Overall
Everything you want out of a good bourbon is still right there in your glass.
