Whiskey Advocate Tasting Notes
SCORE 92 POINTS
Sweet orange, angel food cake, lemon peel, graham cracker, and iced tea on the nose. Sweet and creamy on the palate, with Creamsicle, baked cinnamon apples, and lots of vanilla. The finish is excellent in length and complexity, showing tiramisu, cinnamon bun, brown sugar, and apple pie. This one is powerful but smooth; the alluring finish of earthy sweetness is like late autumn and winter in a glass.
Right out of the gate, this whiskey lets you know it's not kidding around. Its nose delivers a banger, with fantastic cognac-influenced notes mixed with scents right out of a bakery in the morning. The palate sees its focus switch to a more earthy undertone, however, it still maintains a hint of sweetness thanks to veins of dark berries and brown sugar. It ends with a long lingering spice preceded by baking notes and berries. All in all, this is a well-done finished bourbon.
Soft wheat grain | Snickerdoodle cookies | Floral | Grape pie | Noticeable cognac barrel finishing influence | Fantastic
Light brown sugar | Aged oak | Raisins | Dark berries | Earthy base | Hints of leather | Nicely highlights its age
Cinnamon spice | Snickerdoodle cookies | Fleeting dark berries | Long lingering spice | Pleasant
For this Limited Edition of 180 bottles, we are thrilled to bring you the world's first American Straight Bourbon Whiskey finished in barrels that previously held Grande Champagne XO Cognac 4,000 miles to impart their sophisticated flavor to the fine American Straight Bourbon.
This ten-year-old bourbon originated from a distillery in Oklahoma, though the exact source has not been disclosed. A good candidate is Prairie Wolf Spirits (part of the Wander Folk Spirits family), which opened in 2012 as the first legal distillery in Oklahoma since prohibition. What's interesting is that most new distilleries usually aren't fantastic. Whether the source just happened to hit it out of the park early on or the World Whiskey Society has an impressive knack for sourcing and blending barrels, the only thing that counts is the end product. While I'd love to know more about the distillery this originated from and how long it was finished in Cognac barrels, there is no denying that the result is one delicious sip.
