Daviess County Double Barrel, 48%

Price: 50 Issue: Winter 2022 Reviewer: Shane English Category: Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey

Double Barrel refers to the finishing of this bourbon in new Missouri oak barrels. This blend of ryed and wheated bourbons leads with a rye-forward nose of spearmint, anise, and a bright green herbaceousness. The palate dials down the spice—though it’s still present— and brings in orange candies, raspberry iced tea, and punchy black pepper. The finish turns chocolaty and nutty but ends too soon.
