13th Colony Double Oaked Bourbon Whiskey Cask Strength

This coats your mouth from the first taste. I could literally taste the flavor tags each time i tasted it. It is one of the few bourbons that lights up every part of the nose and palate every time i drink it. It is one of the best bourbons i have ever had.

Nose: molasses, oak, smoke, tobacco. Full mouth feel, rich tobacco, some cjnnamon and baking spices, char. This is a fantastic bourbon.

The palate is just as dark and rich as the color and nose of this whiskey. Dark rich sugars, molasses, brown sugar, and oak are so intense and rich that it is indescribable. The finish is long and flavorful. At 135.3 proof there is definitely a KY bear hug and my lips want to go numb if I take too big a sip. You know, it wouldn’t hurt my feelings at all if my dentist used this to numb me up for dental work.

The nose is incredible, palate dark (molasses) and intense...maybe lacking more fruit notes, finish is long but a bit drying... there is a bitter coffee note lingering that knocked the score down for me. Incredible experience but definitely not an everyday drinker.

This is some DARK whiskey! Reminds me of Dovetail if it was oak instead of rum. And yes, it’s hot…which makes sense at freaking 135.3 proof! It’s DELICIOUS if you add a little water to it. Glad I grabbed some. Certainly not a daily drinker (esp at this price) but something special. This just opened me up to trying 13th colony again in the future.
