When I head to my son's in Florida, there is always a day his neighbor Frank comes over and we share tastes. He has outdone himself today and this is the first offering. Little information other than it spent ten years in KY and then a year in Garyanna oak in Oregon. (It's in the white oak family so this is still bourbon)
We have read stories that state it could be MGP but the label say KY and flavor profile leads me to believe it's premium Beam. There's a sweet corn and peanut on the nose and similarity to many of the Knob 120 store picks I've had.
So, it has a rich sweet nose, roasted marshmallows and a touch of peanut. Maybe a little cherry in the background.
It's ten years in oak has the alcohol way in the background and the primary flavors are cherry pie filling and a touch of caramel lurking in the background. After some open time, there's some cinnamon showing up and there is a nice sweet oakey finish that's just right,
It's got a great mouth feel and can't find anything wrong. Whatever they are doing. it works. Availability is an issue as only Oregon and Washington have availability
