Belle Meade Single Barrel Bourbon 10 Year

Excellent. Just excellent. Sweet sweet cotton candy nose- Tastes of carmel apple cider. Complex and hot- with a lovely burn. This is NOT a run of the mill bourbon, it is not indecipherable, it’s amazingly unique and you will quickly understand after just a taste why it’s a great addition to your collection.

So good. Not only is it a syrupy sweet vanilla/caramel masterpiece, but it's also a veritable cornucopia of fruits, from cherry to apple and maybe even a hint of plum. Solid spicy undertones and some chocolate help create a complex taste. Usually it's hard to justify bourbon at such a high price point ($66 for this bottle) but the complexity and deliciousness justifies the cost. Well worth it if you can get your hands on it.

NOSE - chocolate covered toffee, almost "candy-bar-esque", sweet vanilla, light buttery cake PALATE - sweet and smooth up front with sugary caramels, very quickly followed by a bite of hot cinnamon with another tinge of sweetness, ends with buttered nougat. FINISH - not much of a finish, if anything a bit creamy towards the end but rather quickly fading
