Pigeon River Tennessee Sour Mash, 48%

Price: 50 Issue: Fall 2022 Reviewer: Ted Simmons Category: Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey


Sweet breakfast notes of cinnamon bun, vanilla yogurt, rice pudding, and Special K with freeze-dried strawberries on the nose. With water, peanuts and vanilla bean. The palate is fruity and well-spiced, with good depth of flavor; chicory coffee, peanut butter chips, and with water, chocolate-covered peanuts. A flavorful but short finish brings hay, straw, cocoa, and spice. This shows personality and consistency, perhaps grain-forward at times but not without dimension. (3,500 bottles)
