Sweetens Cove Father's Finish Cuvée Barrel Aged and Toasted Maple Stave Finished Blended (2026 Release), 49%,

Price: 65 ● Issue: Fall 2026 ● Reviewer: Shane English ● Category: Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey

Jammy and soft on the nose, this limited release from the Peyton Manning and Andy Roddick-backed brand opens with plums, cocktail cherries, and a hint of bananas Foster. Vanilla and toasted oak provide backbone. The palate is lively, with sharper fruit notes and a more prominent oakiness. There’s more cherry, plus cinnamon, applesauce, and dark choco- late, accenting the fruit forward flavor profile. The finish remains fruity but is well-balanced by toasted oak and coffee beans.
