Tasting Panel Note

About A Big, Bold Burst!: Our first Kentucky distillery! Ben, Kai and Euan visited them in 2019, and we’re delighted to finally release their inaugural single cask. These guys have been a rising star in the bourbon world since they stepped on the scene, and one sip tells you why. The ‘high rye’ profile is deeply delicious with rich vanilla, bananas foster, rum raisin and barrel spice. All with the oily, well-textured mouthfeel of old school bourbon.

Tasting Panel Note: A heady mix of medicated liniments fused wintergreen and camphor with root beer and cinnamon while oily and waxy textures delivered linseed and shoe polish. The palate was a burst of big and bold flavour. An overload of esters delivered rum encounters of the banana kind, followed closely by aniseed and spice. A drop of water caused vanilla ice cream to melt over a banana split in an old engine workshop, where elderflowers and mint leaves stuck to viscous wood oils. Mint chocolate chip cookies then found themselves crushed into rum and raisin ice cream, finished with a topping of bitter cocoa nibs.
