Still Austin 7 year old Bottled In Bond (Fall 2025), 50%

Price: 80 Issue: Spring 2026 Reviewer: David Fleming Category: Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey

Texas-based Still Austin’s oldest whiskey to date. An aromatic nose of mellow oak, with wafting herbal aromas leading to a smooth, fruit-laden palate abounding in red berry, cherry, sweet vanilla, and pepper spice. The finish is long and smooth, with well-integrated flavors of chocolate, raspberry, more vanilla, and spice. The dangers of over-oaking in the Texas heat have been deftly conquered, leaving a fun, flavorful interplay of savory and sweet.
