Tasting Notes

Nose

Sweetness right away, a type of candy corn and warm brown sugar. The higher proof does not play into a burn in the nostrils, likely from the sherry cask mellowing. Faint hint of nuttiness.

Palate

This opens up nicely right away, with warm butter notes, sweetness from the corn of the bourbon and some nuttiness from the sherry cask interchange. It holds long on the tongue, providing for a nice decadent finish with a subtle burn that makes it an appealing offering to sip slowly and deliberately. It isn’t overly complex, buoying its core flavors with hints of taffy, slight spice, brownie and a very subtle jab of toasted oat.

Finish

Comments: Latest On The Whiskey Wash A blend of straight bourbons (13 year Kentucky, 10 year Indiana) finished in ex-sherry casks; 115 proof; $179. Typical brown-orange range seen with slightly older bourbons, though the sherry cask finishing give this a deeper amber color
