Cask No. B5.13

Up on the Range

$130

This single cask Tennessee Bourbon whiskey is unique even among its Tennessee brethren since it did not undergo the Lincoln County Process before filling into barrel. Most Tennessee distilleries filter their newmake spirit with charcoal before filling barrels, so ALL the flavor is fully intact with this Tennessee titan.

Tasting Panel Notes

We encountered a very attractive nose – new cowboy boots and perfumed air amid church pews, café noir biscuits, molasses, liquorice and tobacco leaf. There was plenty of wood on the palate – wood shavings, sandalwood, liquorice root etc – but we also tasted cinnamon apple pie, cherries in dark chocolate, candy corn and sweet floral perfumes. Adding water brought dried fruits, spun sugar and Viennese coffee with fig to the nose. The palate now entertained us with vanilla extract, demerara sugar with clove, and background hints of polished leather and aromatherapy oils (including menthol); warm and sweet, spicy and dry, this is a complex beast.
