Tasting Panel
Aromas of shortcake, nougat, and spiced orange unwrap with each nosing before a wellmannered entry of toffee and peach pie glides in on a silky body. A hint of key lime and chocolatecovered cherry keeps the palate busy with hedonistic deliciousness. Mid-palate notes of egg cream and maple pecan lead to prickly pepper on the finish, which is softened by disarming flavors of oak and pekoe tea. 93.3 proof.
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.
