Nelson's Green Brier Nelson Brothers Classic Blend of Straights, 46.65%

Price: 40 Issue: Fall 2022 Reviewer: Julia Higgins Category: Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey


This is a breakfast buffet for the nose, as buttery blueberry pancakes, maple syrup, cinnamon-sugar toast, and Krispy Kreme donuts waft up from the glass. The palate brings some heat, further supplemented by black pepper and cinnamon spice, with just a touch of chocolate. Add water, and jammier notes emerge: raisins, raspberry preserves, and jelly donut. A hot finish takes this one home, sending you off with a blast of Big Red gum. (100,000 bottles)
