Jefferson's Reserve Pritchard Hill Cabernet Cask Finish

Sweet on the nose. Spice on the palate. Very mild heat, but lingers. Cab cask is front and center, tries to steal the show. Very smooth, as expected with lower proof. Great nightcap to a steak and cab dinner.

There’s a few general rules or tenets in today’s life that we should live by: 1) wear a face mask when stepping out where there’s public 2) keep your 6 ft distance from others. The risk isn’t worth the possible pain 3) don’t listen to folks , who couldn’t even pass basic high school biology, act as if they know what’s best when it comes to CV19 4) do NOT follow people jogging, and shoot them. Regardless of race and creed!! And 5) do try a bourbon finished in good quality wine casks. It’s so worth the experience This one is sent by my buddy @LeeEvolved. ( side note: Lee—-i hope you’re taking it easy at home and recovering from that CV19 hell). This is a blend of 3 sourced bourbons, finished in Pritchard Hill Cabernet Sauvignon. It’s 15yr old stock, finished in the wine barrel. 15 yr + now explains the price tag. I wasn’t impressed with this as I was with the earlier Groth reserve. This has tannic flavors up front, and seems like the wine is fighting with the bourbon. But once you get past those tannins, you get the classic berries and oak soaked fruit flavors. Is it worth the $100-120? Honestly...I’d rather get the Groth over this. But I’m guessing the Groth as long since been sold out. Either way, one thing for sure: you have to put red wine finished bourbon on your try list, preferably ones finished in high quality wine like the ones made by Groth or Pffifer Pfavit ( Bardstown ). Thanks for the pour Lee—I hope you’re feeling better !
