Old Dominick Huling Station Very Small Batch Bourbon, 50%

Price: 40 Issue: Fall 2020 Reviewer: Susannah Skiver Barton Category: Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey

Swirling aromas in the glass make it hard to pick out distinct notes, but a few emerge: mint leaves, leather bookbinding, raisins, grape jelly, and—after some time and water—caramel and candied peanuts. Light and silky in the mouth, a few drops of water make the flavors pop: cherry pie filling, berry and grape jams, chocolate, polished oak, and maple syrup. The finish has dark fruit, dark chocolate, and lengthy mint and tea leaf. (18,000 bottles)
