Dettling Single Barrel Cask Strength Bourbon (Under 2 Years)

Got a sample pour of tgis, my 1st Alabama Whiskey. What a different profile I initially got raisens and caramel. Very nice pour not to hot but refreshingly different

Very unique profile and red amber appearance; licorice, medicinal, Dr. Pepper, stout, chocolate, cherry; spicy. This is very interesting to try, but I cant stomach more than one sampler pour. I like the field to bottle process from South Alabama corn fields; white wheated bourbon.

Appearance:Very dark brown, way dater Tham most 3 yr bourbon. Alabama must age like Texas. Noise; caramel, toffee Palate:Sweet, caramel Finish; huh proof heat, vegetal finish. I'm a fan. If you like Balcones Bourbon give this a try. Best field to bottle Alabama Bourbon to be had. A bit of water makes the heat go away but dulls the other flavors.

Had seen some great reviews of Dettling out of Alabama, so grabbed a bottle while vacationing in Orange Beach, AL. The bottle I have is a 61-month Cask Strength Single Barrel. It is fantastic. The Alabama heat produces a bottle that is unbelievably dark and rich for a 5-year bourbon. Nose: Dark, chocolatey caramel with oak, vanilla Juicy Fruit, orange cream, coconut, linseed and orange peel. It's like Juicy Fruit gum with vanilla, spice and chocolate. Flavor: White sugar sweetness on the front with strong vanilla Juicy Fruit. Some nice spice, white pepper, and oak mid-palate. On the back-end the caramel sweetness and spice combine along with vanilla and orange peel. Body: Thick and creamy mouth feel, but nothing great when compared to some of my best barrel-strength bourbons. Does the lack of age contribute to lack of oiliness / thickness (relative to the best bottles)? Finish: Caramel sweetness, vanilla Juicy Fruit, creamy dark chocolate, white pepper and spice linger along with orange peel and vanilla that gives an orange creamsicle vibe as the other notes fade.
