Henry McKenna 10 Year Bottled in Bond Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed
September 8, 2020
Nose:
Right away Vanilla Frosting.
Little bit of Baking Spice.
Orange Zest
Sassafras, Sarsaparilla, Wintergreen
Palate:
Bright Citrus-Orange
Heaven Hill Peanut
Dark Honey
Heath Bar
Mild Oily Butter coats your mouth
Finish:
Barrel Char leaves a little Smokiness along with a slight unexpected Sea Brine.
Lingering Tannins continue to bring a hot Cinnamon, Black Pepper and Anise
This was a really great pour, but the price is inflated. It's a lower proof, but Evan Williams Single Barrel has pretty much all the same high rye mash spice notes. I'd like to do a whiskey war between those two and Evan Williams BiB. I bet the EWs easily hang especially at McKenna's price point.
