Distiller Notes
The 100-day Rum Finished Solera Bourbon starts off with inviting tropical coconut and vanilla bean. Next there is rich sent of warm brown sugar and cinnamon that flirt with the high rye bourbon and sherry finished Solera base. The spirit is packed with light brown sugar, as well as flavors of cream filled sugar wafers and taffy. Next, floral notes of honeysuckle and wildflowers mix with the brown sugar and creamy vanilla as they fade and dissipate. The power and finesse of this spirit are found in the combination of toasted coconut, clove, and brown sugar. The flavors play off of one another as the savory rum flavors linger.
Although Bourbon may be produced anywhere in the United States, it is most commonly associated with Bourbon County, Kentucky, where it has been produced since the late 18th century. Made from a mash bill containing at least 51% corn, the Bourbon Whiskey distillate must be aged in new, charred white oak barrels. Bourbon Whiskeys are bottled at eighty proof (40% abv) or higher and cannot contain any added color or flavor. A versatile spirit that can be sipped neat, with water or on the rocks, it also performs nicely added to cocktails like the Old Fashioned.
