Never Say Die Barrel Strength Whiskey (Barrel No. 6)
Another top notch single barrel bourbon from the Never Say Die team, distilled in Kentucky from a mash bill of 75% corn, 21% rye, and 4% malted barley. Matured in a rickhouse for around six years, it’s then put on a boat for a six-week journey to England where it’s bottled at White Peak Distillery. The ageing process is accelerated as the whiskey interacts more with the wood over the rough seas, before it’s given a chance to mellow in England’s cooler climate. It was bottled at cask strength, with herbal, spicy nuances to balance the bourbon sweetness.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Cinnamon and cardamom spice lead into oaky vanilla, cracked black pepper, and brown sugar.
Palate
A balance of sweet and herbal notes, as green cardamom reappears alongside butterscotch and chewy rye.
Finish
Golden syrup and chocolate, with drying oak and menthol.
