What the Producer Says
This limited edition Daviess County variant is finished in medium toasted American oak barrels, providing a smooth mouthfeel with notes of caramel, cocoa, and hints of oak. Like all Daviess County variants, it features a signature combination of ryed and wheated mashbills, aged for over four years and is 96 proof.

What Gary Says
Nose: Caramel, cocoa, vanilla, honey, hint of anise, toasted oak and roasted marshmallow.
Palate: Creamy mouthfeel with caramel, honey, oak, coconut macaroons, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cherry, peaches and a bit of orange bitters.
Finish: Medium in length, wet with oak, vanilla and a hint of mulling spices.
Comments: I like this one quite a bit. I’m not sure if I like this more than Daviess County Double Barrel Bourbon (since I liked that one so much – it’s all gone!) but at least as much. This is a lovely fall bourbon with those spice notes getting me ready for the holidays, and is a solid drinker neat – no dilution required. Well balanced, and with the four grain blend has a little (or maybe a lot) for everyone!
