BOURBON & AMERICAN WHISKY

Gentleman Jack Rare Tennessee Whiskey has a rich, full flavor with a hint of fruits and spices. Since the whiskey has been twice mellowed, the finish is particularly smooth, warm and pleasant. Source: jackdaniels.com

Nose: Cream-toffee and honeycomb. Vanilla and other gentle oaky tones waft through. Brilliant. Palate: Subtle spices warm the palate only for the honey to calm things down again. Sweetcorn, and brilliant, toasty brown-sugared depth. Finish: Some deft rye; the oak adds dryness. Comment: A bourbon of stunning complexity that really has improved in the last year or so as the depth has intensified. Source: whisky.com

Another wonderful rye whiskey from the equally wonderful Willett Distillery! After it's distilled over in Kentucky, the liquid was aged in new charred white oak barrels for the entirety of its four years. Eventually, it was bottled at cask strength, a warming 57.2% ABV. An outstanding rye whiskey that proves great value for money.

Nose: Aromas of Bakewell tart and cherry jam, with toasty oak, cinnamon and salted caramel.

Palate: Wonderfully chewy with a big hit of rye spice, burnt vanilla custard and velvety, melted dark chocolate.

Finish: More tart cherry returns alongside a touch of banana, rounded off by a wave of oak spice.

Light bronze in color with streaks of gold, Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey bears a complex aroma of vanilla, mint, and molasses. Its taste is pleasantly sweet and contains notes of brown sugar and spice that give way to oak and leather. The long and dry finish has significant depth. When enjoyed with water, flavors of toffee, dark fruit and anise are revealed.Source: buffalotrace.com

Michter?s whiskeys are proudly all made in Kentucky. They are all single barrel or very small batch. Michter?s takes a ?Cost Be Damned? approach to the production of every barrel, including: 1. Air drying the wood used in its barrels, up to 36 months. 2. Toasting barrels prior to charring them so the natural sugar in the wood comes to the surface. 3. Using a low barrel-entry strength of 51.5% ABV rather than the industry standard 62.5%. 4. Heat cycling: heating the warehouse gradually in winter then opening the windows to let it cool again, so the whiskey ages during the frigid winter months. 5. Adopting the best individual filtration technique for each whiskey rather than using the same filtration method for all their whiskeys.

It has a strong smoked single malt Whisky front followed by a smooth finish. Something quite special and tricky to make.

Tasting notes:  Nose is "vanilla lemon cake." The palate is a balance of caramel, vanilla, spices and citrus. I'm not sure if they made the opulent bottle to match the Whiskey or vice versa.
