Amador Double Barrel Bourbon Chardonnay Barrel Finish

Sweet wiity no bite at all. You can tell it was aged in Chardonnay barrels

Need to do this again. All i got was earthy dirt and I loved it last time.

Batch: 2 Bottled: 1/2022 Case: 3687 A mash bill that consists of 65% corn, 20% wheat, and 15% barley My son grabbed a bottle of this and of course was now naturally curious. Tasted over a few pours on different days. One that I would normally overlook. But since it’s in my purview, I might as well try. Faint and restrained nose. Floral, vanilla, brown sugar, and honey begin on nosing. Within that floral faintness, a light woody cedar incense (ala smoke punks) aroma is detectable. Hints of cinnamon apple linger. Even more faintly are the the white grape skins and white wine. With a creamy mouth, a sweetness coats the palate. Breaking it down, vanilla, light brown sugar, cola, white pepper, pickled ginger and a touch of oaken tannins which provides a delicate dry sweetness slightly offset by a mild spiciness. A drying woody finish with the lingering vanilla and brown sugar sweetness that linger for a fair length. A straightforward, easy sipping, bourbon. Though finished in Chardonnay barrels, the wine influence is just barely detectable. Does it influence the bourbon? Just slightly, if at all. But overall, a decent, sipper that’s enjoyable, inoffensive and affordable. [85/100][Tasted: 3/10/23]
