Dettling Cask Strength Single Barrel Bourbon (Under 2 Years)

Bourbon — Alabama, USA

Reviewed June 17, 2023 (edited February 2, 2024)
4.25
4.25 out of 5 stars
Had seen some great reviews of Dettling out of Alabama, so grabbed a bottle while vacationing in Orange Beach, AL. The bottle I have is a 61-month Cask Strength Single Barrel. It is fantastic. The Alabama heat produces a bottle that is unbelievably dark and rich for a 5-year bourbon. Nose: Dark, chocolatey caramel with oak, vanilla Juicy Fruit, orange cream, coconut, linseed and orange peel. It's like Juicy Fruit gum with vanilla, spice and chocolate. Flavor: White sugar sweetness on the front with strong vanilla Juicy Fruit. Some nice spice, white pepper, and oak mid-palate. On the back-end the caramel sweetness and spice combine along with vanilla and orange peel. Body: Thick and creamy mouth feel, but nothing great when compared to some of my best barrel-strength bourbons. Does the lack of age contribute to lack of oiliness / thickness (relative to the best bottles)? Finish: Caramel sweetness, vanilla Juicy Fruit, creamy dark chocolate, white pepper and spice linger along with orange peel and vanilla that gives an orange creamsicle vibe as the other notes fade.
75.0 USD per Bottle
