Whiskey Review is a American whisky. ABV: 50% ABV. Our expert rating is 10/10.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Warm and inviting. There is the briefest hit of alcohol, but its warming vs. astringent. This nose has a lot of pieces, they are extremely mature and difficult to parse out. Strong dark chocolate, with vanilla bean it seems to have a hint of coconut and a touch of hard caramel. It really doesnt have the over oak qualities youd expect for a 19-year bourbon, or char, or leather. Despite its age, it is vibrant and sweet. It is, I will distinguish, mature smelling.
Palate
This is drying, syrupy and a bit of a punch of alcohol. I found soft spice, the oak that was missing from the nose, the softness of caramel in the wheat and sugar from the corn. The sip does what you want from an excellent bourbon. The front end greets your senses and really gets things going. It is followed by the mid palate, which adds the sweet notes of the nose with the complexity of the oak and mature compounds. The finish just holds. As your body warms up, so do the notes on the finish. You get oak, which gives way to tobacco, which gives way to chocolate and finally holds with caramel and spice.
