Notes

About Midnight treats: Another decadent Tennessee B5 bourbon sporting the citrus-honey-spice trinity we’ve come to love! Here, a deep and dark sipper shows you what Kentucky’s neighbors to the south can achieve when the Lincoln County Process is skipped. Spoiler alert…. it’s very impressive. 

Tasting Panel Note: Our initial notes included maraschino juices, sweet orange wines, aged triple sec, nutmeg, liquorice and treacle spread on hot cross buns. It also brought to mind molten chocolate marshmallow and jam biscuits, dark honey and date molasses. Reduction made it more complex and we found notes of sunflower oil, shoe polish, cream soda and Turkish delight – thicker, deeper and darker. The palate when neat was peppered with cloves, crystallised satsuma chunks, runny honey, herbal wines and spiced blood orange liqueur. Some water made everything easier and brought out lemon cough drops, cherryade, eucalyptus resin and notes of birch beer and red liquorice.
