On my most recent trip to Kentucky, I was lucky enough to try some truly fantastic bourbons. Some of them, I’m still attempting to track down so I can have some more time with the flavors. To my great dismay, I’ve learned that some of these whiskies are virtually unobtainable for schmucks like me. This is one of the ones I can’t get.
I’m fairly certain that the only way to try this is to buy a round at the Silver Dollar in Louisville (or some sister bar in TX). So if you find yourself in the area, you owe it to yourself to stop in and try this. Pricing was fair for what you get.
Additionally, going back through my notes, it appears one of my “friends” on the trip must have inserted some extra comments that I leave in now for the sake of preserving history. Big thanks to @freeeeeeeedom for your contribution.
Nose is powdered sugar, Nutella. Penis is my favorite mouthfeelsies with this one
Body is heavy sugar and molasses, transitions slowly to a cherry flavor. The Heat really turns on on the backend.
Finish is cinnamon, more sugar, and more cherry.
A bit of water really opens up the cherry here. I could see wine as well.
On ice, it’s phenomenal. All the harshness is gone, and the sugar and cherry work together. This is cherry juice.
Postscript: I need new friends.
