Release batch 2. Bottle 586/700 Open for about 7-9 months. "This blended bourbon would be about 18 to 20% of a 9 year old light whiskey, with the majority of the blend being 12 year old bourbon, followed by some 19 year old bourbon to give it more depth and complexity. " From Nancy herself on this batch 2 blend. Of course I'll leave out the notes on the wine finish, well beyond me wheel house to discuss. OK so color has that dark old bourbon note. A touch cloudy perhaps even, very viscous. Nose - rich, dusty, I get a lot of cognac notes, and yet there's a white sweet note. Once opened - huge vanillas, tobacco, oak, leather, and that white sweet note from the finishing. Taste - Rich, oaky, dry, yet has a sweet over tone. Rich sweetness, coating the mouth, it's really good. I remember this being better when i first opened it up. The pineau des charentes casks are really one dimensional at this point. Sweet, long, lingering but not really adding what I recall. The bottle is still past the half way point, it seems this bottle doesn't oxidize well. That said I'm still giving this 4 stars. It's really great bourbon but it's missing out on complexity to push it higher and the 160 price is well out of line for most bourbon drinkers.
