Tastes

Tasted at the Old Talbott in Bardstown, KY on Day 3 of KY. Damn!!!

Fortunate to taste at Old Talbott Tavern in Bardstown, KY during amazing 2018 40th bday Bourbon Trail Experience. Tasting it at Old Talbott with CSM was amazing capstone to Spirits & Spirit day on the Trail. The bar had only gotten it less than a week ago. Probably won’t ever see it again. Amazing story with the ‘96 fire. Complex, perfume, but to be honest might be slightly over-Oaked.

4.25 one of the better recent single malt finds. Butter, toffee, vanilla, caramel, rich but also light....sweet/cake on the nose

At Mark’s ... lots of sherry. Surprised by how much I liked it. MaCallan-ish in the middle. 3.5/5

At Mark’s ... Tobacco, cinnamon, oak, hot.

At Mark’s... complex, spicy, seems to have peat in the middle. Amazing packaging. 3.75/5
