Lucky Seven The Holiday Toast Double Oak Bourbon (Batch 1), 57.5%

Price: $75 Issue: Summer 2021 Reviewer: David Fleming


A lively herbal nose leads to sweeter aromas of chocolate syrup, baking spice, and toasted almonds. Loads of cherry on the palate—cherry pie, cherry muffins, and a note of raspberry tart. A long, pleasing finish shows chocolate, roasted pecans, and cooked red fruit. Smooth and balanced, with depth and lively fruit integrating with semi-sweet chocolate and oak. Whiskey lovers with a sweet tooth will adore this one, but it has plenty of appeal for all. (7,500 bottles)
