Henry McKenna 10 Year Bottled in Bond Bourbon

Dark caramel with dark chocolate in the middle, oakey vanilla, slight slight tobacco

Solid. Caramel, oak, fruit, vanilla and spice.

Bourbon done right. Solid pour.

Bottle kill on barrel 9874: Great balance. Classic bourbon notes with the spice turned up a notch. Adequate mouthfeel with a peppery, moderate length finish. This baby checks all the boxes for me. Delicious pour. Man down with a willing backup waiting in my cabinet. Cheers 🥃

Barrel No: 114.52 Nose: cedar, sandalwood, sawdust, brown sugar, molasses, orange and cherry Palate: brown sugar, orange, molasses, clementine, peach ring candy, pronounced black tea and oak tannin Finish: sweet then a big charcoal/char character Overall: It’s going to depend on the barrel you get, but for this particular one: big sweetness and fruitiness, well contrasted by big bitter and charred notes from the longer age in the barrel. Not terribly unique, but definitely a complex and full-flavored bourbon
