Three Chord 15 year old Whiskey Drummer Kentucky Straight Bourbon, 58.95%

Price: 190 Issue: Fall 2020 Reviewer: Susannah Skiver Barton Category: Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey

On the nose, figs, nuts, and integrated spice mingle with caramel-swirl brownie and tobacco barn; candy apple and grape Kool-Aid emerge with water. The palate has nutty, sweet, savory, and spicy flavors in abundance: dark chocolate-covered mint, Cherry Coke, cinnamon, pepper, allspice, roasted pecans, maple syrup, and polished oak. It's consistent into the finish, which has cinnamon, black pepper, mint, dark chocolate, and lengthy varnish. Seamless to the last and, for a whiskey this mature, no water is necessary.
