Hard Truth 14 year old Schoonover Uncut & Unfiltered (Barrel No. 357), 54.52%

The nose on this Tennessee bourbon is sweet and syrupy. Cola and cherry soda weave around chocolate, oak, and honey. Beneath the sweet notes, there are aromas of fennel, roasted peanuts, and a whisper of mustiness. The palate is robust, with jammy fruits, dried berries, candied orange atop hot chocolate, and peanuts. Excellent texture, with a finish—syrupy cooked berries, cinnamon, andchocolate—that ties the whole sip together. (3,000 bottles)
