Coors Whiskey Co. Barmen 1873, 46%
Price: ● Issue: Spring 2024 ● Reviewer: David Fleming ● Category: Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey
This is the first whiskey from Molson Coors before it bought Kentucky’s Blue Run Spirits in 2023, and it’s also the sibling brand to the Molson Coors-owned Five Trail label. Balanced oak influence, perhaps a bit young and barrel-forward on the nose. It's similar on the palate, as the profile just seems to need more aging. Some nice flavors of chocolate, spice, and vanilla cream come through but could use more time to develop.
