Chambers Bay Greenhorn Bourbon (Batch 1), 44%
Price: ● Issue: Fall 2016 ● Reviewer: Jeffery Lindenmuth ● Category: Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey
Initial aromas of boiled corncob, sugarcane stalks, and burnt sugar give a suggestion of youth and slight bitterness. Dig a little deeper and the secondary flavors of honeyed fruit, green apple, lavender, vanilla, and fresh oak reveal potential. While clearly young, there is still a lot to admire in this soft and delicate wheated bourbon, with its hints of smoke and a mouthwatering saltwater taffy finish, possibly derived from aging in floating boathouses on Puget Sound. 375ml
