Rabbit Hole Dareringer Straight Bourbon Finished in PX Sherry Casks

On the nose I get some earthiness which is probably part of the sherry cask and part the fact this is wheated bourbon. You also get some dark and dried fruits, like cherries, figs or cranberries. On the first sip I am hit with a little spice, some slight earthiness and the very ripe fruit, like a raspberry or strawberry jam that is a little sweet and a little tart. After a little bit more, some vanilla notes sneak in. Finally a few sips more I am getting a raspberry ice cream as the fruits and vanilla mix. The finish is somewhat short and drying. However, after more sips, the raspberry ice cream flavor seems to linger. Overall this is a great, tasty bourbon especially if you like some big fruit notes.

The nose has an abundance of sweet notes. Brown sugar, caramel, and light vanilla dominate. Raisins, black pepper, apricot, and black cherries are also present making the nose inviting and complex. Extremely pleasant nose. Upon tasting the sugar notes are immediately apparent with black currant and light pepper. Not as complex as the nose, but the PX Sherry cask finish does show up with call me crazy a slight coffee note. The finish is fairly fleeting, a artifact of the somewhat low proof. Overall impression: Nose 4.5/5; Taste 4.0/5 Total 4.25/5 Repurchase: Yes Type: Friday Night Pour/Special Occassion
