Daviess County Toasted Barrel Finish Series, 48%
Price: ● Issue: Spring 2023 ● Reviewer: Shane English ● Category: Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey
Opening with a nose that recalls day hikes and trail mix, this blend of ryed and wheated bourbons opens with honeyed granola, shelled sunflower seeds, almonds, and earthy fields The palate is spiky with black pepper, chile flakes, and Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Water draws out vanilla and coconut cream, and the pepperiness refuses to let go. The finish is earthy and doesn’t overstay its welcome.
