Bourbon Review: Tincup Fourteener Bourbon
Bourbon Review is a Bourbon whisky. ABV: 42% ABV. Age: 14 years. Our expert rating is 7/10.
Tasting Notes
Nose
This smells well-seasoned. To start off I find cherries, pine, maybe citrus hiding in the background. With a few more whiffs I can pick up some white sugar, and yellow flowers. The oak is there but sort of a binder for the other flavors. There is the softest touch of alcohol on the last third of the smell, but overall, it is pleasant and approachable.
Palate
This greets you immediately with some pine almost juniper taste, which folds evenly into a nice oak profile. The softness of the nose does not immediately translate into the profile, but it seems to help mute some of the characteristics. There is some dark chocolate on the back end right before the finish takes over. This whiskey dials up the classic Tincup profile but helps mellow some of the younger edges of the standard offering. There is caramel, young leather, some incomplete esters which seem to give off a bitter taste. The finish is subtle and manageable. It holds nicely but doesnt really push the narrative further before disappearing.
