What the Producer Says
This award-winning 10-year-old bourbon is distinctly American in that it forges a path all its own. To create its singular flavor profile, we double-distill it and choose not to chill-filter as is traditional with Tennessee Bourbons. Combining traditional rick houses and Level 1 char palletized barrels for aging provides a high level of wood contact and yet keeps the vanilla and oak influence subtle. This gives us an even greater depth of flavor going into the bottle. Incredibly well balanced, it’s a standout bourbon for moments that are to be remembered.
Taste profile
Aroma – leads with the scent of vanilla layered with sweet roasted corn, toasted oak, and pipe tobacco.
Taste – starts with a velvety entry marked by a hint of well-balanced sweetness. It fulfills the promise of its nose before evolving into a warm, slightly dry, cocoa covered mid-palate.
Finish – enrobes the senses with a rich, warming, and full-bodied finish of spicy cedar and kettle corn.
What Gary Says
Nose: Rich caramel, vanilla, leather, nutmeg, cinnamon, tobacco, subtle mineral note, brown sugar, oak.
Palate: Creamy tiramisu, notes of maple, caramel, milk chocolate and baking spices.
Finish: Moderately long with cocoa and baking spices trailing.
Comments: This is just delicious! The additional age over the 6 Year really tamps down the mineral/vitamin notes, and brings more complexity to both the nose and palate. Takes a bit of water well, amping up the chocolate notes. This is definitely on the sweet/pastry side of the spectrum, which I rather enjoy. A bit pricey for a 10 yr bourbon, but if you’re a fan of the 6 yr or Dickel – I would definitely consider it a ‘Must Try’.
