Daviess County 96 Medium Toasted Barrel Finished, 48%

Price: 50 Issue: Spring 2024 Reviewer: Julia Higgins Category: Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey

Apples and spice and everything nice—the nose is resplendent with applesauce, apple cinnamon oatmeal, peach rings, dried pineapple, and sliced Golden Delicious apples. More subtle apple notes progress to the palate, which is fruit-forward but now backed by chocolate-coated fruit and oat milk latte. The finish takes a turn toward peanut shell, but there’s still plenty of baked pineapple and apricot to enjoy, as well as vanilla cream and cacao.
