Whatever Bottled in Bond, 50%

Price: 90 Issue: Winter 2022 Reviewer: Ted Simmons Category: Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey

There is a musty and dusty quality on the nose, like antique furniture or old books in the attic. Other aromas include raw honey, lemon pepper seasoning, dried cherries, and strawberry rhubarb pie. Creamy, fruity, and balanced, the palate delivers honeyed almonds, red berries, and apricots. The finish is long and dusty, with Red Vines and additional spice. It is slightly irregular in profile but shows satisfactory construction and cohesion.
