Daviess County Double Barrel Bourbon

I was a big fan of the two Davies County wine barrel releases, so I figured I couldn’t go with this. Lux Row almost always impresses me, so let’s hope this continues that trend. Nose: Caramel, fudge, vanilla, toffee, and brown sugar. Gala apple and dried fruit. Black cherry. Black tea, peppercorn, and tobacco smoke. Black pepper, clove, nutmeg, cinnamon, and oak. Pumpkin spice. Rye spice. I really like this. It’s a standard flavor profile, but it’s rich and powerful. Palate: Caramel and fudge once again, maybe even some dark chocolate. Some mint chocolate. Pistachio. Rye notes. A little pipe smoke, cocoa, and black tea. Brown sugar. Cola. Cocoa. Gala apple, dried apricot, golden raisin. The faintest cherry note. Black pepper, cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, and oak. Finish: Caramel, toffee, vanilla. Brown sugar. Fudge. Cocoa. Dried apricot and raisin. Mint/mint chocolate. Black pepper, cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, and oak. Moderate-long finish. Another winner from Lux Row. Like I said with the nose, the entire experience does not deviate much from the standard bourbon profile. But it really doesn’t need to do anything different, this is a masterful expression. The barrel char from the white oak cask finish adds an amazing touch. At $55, this is a bargain and then some. Lux Row is doing some fantastic things with this Daviess County line, and they’re making it easily accessible to the average person. I have to appreciate that. It’s a 4.5/5. VFM gives it that extra push. Well done.

Light finish

a mellow pour. sugar, oak, caramel, butterscotch, and a bit of chocolate. also delicate fruity notes.

Nose-vanilla Body-vanilla and a hint of cherry Finish- vanilla and wood notes meld to produce toasted marshmallow

Vanilla, caramel and a hint of cinnamon

Chocolate, sweet vanilla, oak with long spicy, smoky finish. Thinner feel and not as complex as OF 1910 or woodford DO. Good but something sweet about the finish is just ok. Purchased at Luxe distillery March 2022 limited edition for ducks unlimited.
