McFarlane's Reserve 12 Year Finished in Cabernet Sauvignon Barrels

Bourbon — Kentucky , USA

Reviewed January 15, 2022 (edited April 16, 2022)
2.5
2.5 out of 5 stars
Another Christmas gift this is a Total Wine brand and high priced at $99.99. This is a 12 year sourced bourbon finished in Cabernet Sauvignon casks with a marketing story about someone getting shot over a whiskey tax back when Washington was prez. The juice is ok but the price is crazy. Plenty of rich red fruits and heavy spicy oak with a coconut milk vibe throughout. Tobacco and tannins close it out. Its a little thin but flavors are tasty. The Cab barrels are an interesting add and the bourbon itself is decent but the $$ is a non starter. I am enjoying this bottle but no chance for repurchase. This is a 3 star bourbon with a value hit .....75/100
100.0 USD per Bottle
