Tasting Notes

Nose

Bright sweetness — honey, vanilla, a touch of strawberries and cream, loads of corn, a twig of mint, mild rye spiciness

Palate

Sweet honey and caramel upfront — quickly changing to spicy pepper and subtle barrel char, then clover honey, oak, cherry, wafer-like flavour, easy-drinking and crowd-pleasing

Finish

Lingering apple pie filling — warm and satisfying, the low-rye mashbill producing a smooth, sweet close, the distillery's DNA evident

Expert Review

8/10

The flagship that launched Kentucky's most talked-about distillery — mashbill #1 believed to be 75% corn, 10% rye, 15% barley. No age statement but estimated 8-10 years old. Easy-drinking and crowd-pleasing with honey, vanilla, and cherry. The distillery that also produces Pappy Van Winkle, Eagle Rare, and Blanton's.
