Daviess County Kentucky Straight Bourbon Cabernet Sauvignon Finish

Enjoyable stuff

Smooth up front, mouthful of flavors in the finish

Red wine flavors dominate the palate from nose, taste and through to the finish. Overripe blackberry, wild blueberry, spicy black pepper midtones, raw rye grain character that shows imo a bourbon bottled/finished before its time, cacao, leather, candy bar caramel, weak butterscotch, buttery, forest honey, mix of raw and mostly mellow oaky tannins, cereal grains underneath, pleasant oiliness that coats the mouth briefly. Strong wheat flavor compared to most wheated bourbons. All of the distinct flavors seem to compete with the red wine influence; the cab keeps coming out just as the flavors present themselves. Its persistence makes it easy drinking but not very enjoyable. This whiskey pretends to be complex. Does not oxidize well at all. Would rather get Breaker's port barrel finished bourbon.

This was surprisingly sweet. But not too much. Very similar to Boulivine Double but 1/4 of the $$ Very easy to drink. Good for a cold winter night.

Ok, but the finish gives it too much red wine taste for me.

The nose was very Cabernet forward and the neck pour was as well. After it opened up it progressed towards a nuttiness that I wasn’t expecting. Overall good but not exactly what I was hoping it would be.
