It’s unique and works for my palate. I have drank a lot of wine and can say that I don’t like most Chardonnay’s. But knowing Chardonnay’s, I was intrigued by this possible paring. The casking is most notable in the nose and the finish. The taste takes you on a journey from light, airy, and crisp in the beginning to your traditional bourbon middle and then abruptly to Chardonnay finish. This finish can be described from going sweet with a hint of cinnamon to apricot to a dry white wine oak lingering finish. I would have to agree that the casking does not enhance the traditional sweet richness of a bourbon like a port finish (think angel’s envy), but creates a nice new animal that is pleasant and satisfying. Further, to bring out more of the bourbon sweetness in the taste and finish, add a little water or let it dilute on a rock. Regardless, this is a flavor journey that has a welcome home in my cabinet.
