Bardstown Bourbon Co. Distillery Collection Triple Blended Stave Finish

This is a complicated one, blending two ryes and a bourbon, splitting it up with four different staves then the reblending and adding a 17 yr Tennessee whiskey. Beautiful sweet nose with light cherry cola, pie dough, oak, leather, and clove in the background. The palate is not quite as complicated, but has many of the same notes, but the oak comes forward followed by spicy pepper, fading to pie dough, and finally finishing with a slightly astringent alcohol. The nose is the best part of this whiskey and interestingly, I only get the astringent finish if I do not nose it first.
