Lux Row Four Grain Double Single Barrel Bourbon

Four grain, double single barrel, 115 proof: wheated barrel #8119653 filled 8/14/18, rye barrel #8986627 filled 7/11/18. Tasting neat. Copper brown and light coating legs in the glass. Light sweet grain and dried cherries on the nose. Some spice. In the mouth, ethanol wiff followed by sweet grain, spice, and then leather and tannic oak. Some light dried fruit but not over-sweet or strong vanilla flavors in this whiskey. Dry, oaky, and spicy finish is average length, with a little sour at the very end. An ice cube rounds out the tannins to a smokier oak flavor and maple sweetness that's quite nice, and tamps down the rye spice in the finish. An interesting four grain double barrel blended whiskey. Dark and complex. A little pricy but worth the experience.

Nose: heavy grain, sweet cinnamon Palette: cinnamon pop. Toast, rye spice over powers the finish. Water mellows out tye spice and reveals brown sugar, slight cedar in the finish

On the nose it's like walking through the rickhouse and getting a nose full of the angel's share. Sweet and oaky with baking spices. On the palate the 4 gains come through and you get a little taste of them all. Initially sweet corn giving way to wheat and finally rye spiciness. On the finish you start to really taste the second barrel coming through along with a nice Kentucky hug. I'm a big fan of this bottle, definitely worth it.
