A slightly spicy nose with a youthfulness on the front end of the palate & a great malt-like finish with citrus & floral notes prevailing. Color Chestnut Nose Intensity – 1; Aloeswood, benzoin gum powder, smoke, pencils, young Armagnac Palate Sweet corn, corn & rye notes showing their face in a prominent way, leather, elements of a well-blended Speyside on the front palate Finish Length – Medium; Amazing how the malted barley notes show themselves, clover honey, citrus floral
Aroma: Very light, with floral notes and a hint of butterscotch. Taste: Again, very soft across the palate. Nicely balanced with fresh fruit notes (apple and pear), some nutty flavors from the oak and just a touch of spice at the finish. Verdict: When I think of the speakeasy days, I think of bathtub gin and firewater whiskey. This Speakeasy could not be further from that – the emphasis is on the “easy.” It’s a very light and drinkable bourbon that would probably pair well with foods. And you don’t even need to know a password to procure it.
The same goes for this mature 15 year old bourbon. The extra aging gives this older whiskey the smooth, char flavor that blends well with the barrel proof. The wheat in the recipe is quite obvious as this delightful bourbon passes over your tongue.
