GIA Bourbon Club 2021 pick
Warehouse K; Floor 3
63.55% abv; 127.1 proof
Nose - Cinnamon bun, banana bread, tobacco leaf, brown sugar, gingerbread, fresh grain, strong oak, and medium ethanol.
Palate - Sickly sweet cinnamon caramel syrup, oiled leather, vanilla frosted gingerbread cookies, allspice, cardamon, black cherries, dark chocolate, and black pepper. Finish is long and oily, caramel, black pepper, light on oak tannins, medium ethanol, and a delectable powdered sugar and caramel candy finish after the tannins, spice, and ethanol kick. This is one of the best finishes I've had in a bourbon, hands down.
Received a 2 oz sample from a friend. This is a great pick. To warm up my palate I sipped on some Jack Daniel's SBBP, one of the easiest comparisons to this flavor profile. This is much better than the current JDSBBP bottle I have. It tastes rich, complex, and old. Think of ECBP C919 and C920 and you'll know what league this pick is playing in.
