Old Fourth Distillery Cask Strength

Bourbon — USA

Reviewed July 30, 2023 (edited June 22, 2024)
3.0
3.0 out of 5 stars
Rating: 14/23 Got a patent application filed, so I think a bottle opening is warranted. I've been curious about this one for a bit, so I'm going for it. N: Lots of minerality with a mild sweetness that brings in notes of corn, and hints of tangerine. There's a nice bit of dustiness coming off of the corn as well. P: Mmm, this has some nice sweetness! The corn sweetness comes through. The mouthfeel is moderate, but lighter than I'd expect at this proof. Nice vanilla that actually almost becomes cloying. Mild tangerine as well. Then there's the burn. It's not harsh, but this certainly does burn. It's a bit peppery, but not in a really flavorful way. F: It's less sweet than the palate, but similar in style. A lot more minerality in here though. - Conclusion - This is pretty decent, but nothing to write home about. My immediate thought is that this is around a 14. It could be a 15. I've been contemplating this one for a while now and I'm thinking that it's most likely a 14. It just doesn't have enough going on to earn a 15.
