Daviess County Kentucky Straight Bourbon Cabernet Sauvignon Finish

Little light on flavor

Nose of fresh sliced strawberries with a bit of vanilla. Palate in the front is sweet berries but transition into black pepper and clove Finish is short/medium with drying oak tannins and more clove This is a very interesting bourbon journey even if it's not exactly my preference

I accidentally posted under the French Oak Finish, so here it is again. The DC French Oak was one of the great surprises of last year for me. Sensational stuff. As I said in that review, it’s like a Blood Oath on a budget. Let’s see if Lux Row has delivered with the other half of this duo. Nose: Corn heavy. Vanilla, caramel, brown sugar, and toffee. Red fruit as well. Red grape, blackberry, raisin, date, fig, and cranberry. Wintergreen and menthol. Gala/golden delicious apple and maple. Cocoa and new car leather. Clove, nutmeg, cinnamon, black pepper, and oak. Palate: Vanilla, caramel, caramelized apple, and toffee. Pistachio, brown sugar, and walnut. Red grape, blackberry, raisin, fig, and date. Some mint chocolate. Sawdust and corn behind the waves of sweetness. Tobacco smoke and black tea. Black pepper, cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, and oak. Finish: Caramelized apple, pistachio, and mint chocolate. Fudge, caramel, vanilla, and cocoa. Black pepper, cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, and oak. Medium-long finish, leaning toward the latter. Amazing stuff from Lux Row. From start to finish. Palate was the highlight but everything was great. And at $48, this is an incredible value. Blood Oath on a budget. I never got to try the Blood Oath aged in Cab barrels, but I’m convinced this will suffice. The cab adds a ton of fruit and make for a beautiful compliment to an excellent base distillate. As with the French Oak, 4.5/5.

Sweet on the nose and the palate. Sweet and spicy up front with a nice hug. Great 4th of July weekend sipper!

Nose- vanilla and powdered sugar Body- some wine tannins here but it is very light Finish-the wine mouthfeel comes through here

Sweet caramel apple on the front, immediately is taken over by spice and leather notes. Does much better with a bit of water.
