Producing WhiskyCast has given me the opportunity to taste some really amazing whiskies, and I’m pleased to share my tasting notes with you here. You can search my entire database of tasting notes from this page, and I hope you’ll find it useful.
Brown-Forman has revived this brand from Bourbon’s past with a new 14-year-old annual single barrel release that will be available exclusively in Kentucky. The ABV will vary from barrel to barrel, and our 2018 release sample was approximately 67% ABV. The nose is woody with notes of charred caramel and dark chocolate, grilled pineapple, cooked bananas, and a hint of chocolate mint leaves from the garden. The taste is mouth-coating with intense spicy notes of black pepper, chili powder, and cardamom that fade to reveal black cherries, dark chocolate fudge, and a hint of pipe tobacco. The finish is long and slightly astringent with lingering spices and oak. (June, 2018)
