Bib & Tucker 6 Year The Classic Six Small Batch Bourbon

Bourbon — Tennessee , USA

Reviewed September 28, 2020 (edited November 22, 2020)
3.25
3.25 out of 5 stars
Nose: Brown sugar, vanilla-flavored canned frosting with that slightly metallic note. Oak, but not in the charred sense. Pine and lemon oil. Ginger. Apricot, banana, strawberry. Slightly vegetal - there's almost a sweet Allum thing buried in there - think Vidalia onion. Letting this sit for a minute in the glass and acclimating, I'm reminded of the 13-year Dickel BiB release with that characteristic dark fruit and sweet cream thing, though much younger smelling. Palate: Brown sugar, vanilla, light oak. Sugar-covered raisins like you get in some breakfast cereals. Pine, rosemary, and thyme are showing, along with big bright citrus notes - extracts and oils. Cooked down blueberries like you'd use on pancakes, stewed prunes, figs. Banana with peanut butter. Tart cherries. A little black pepper and cocoa, maybe some roasted chestnuts. Flavors are relatively well integrated, though the low char means it presents a little different to what you'd normally expect. Many would find this quite "bright" and/or "young"/"green" with plenty of upper palate, some middle, and not much lower. Very unique pour overall. Light mouthfeel, light light tannin. Finish: The ethanol shows up, along with those bright citrus oils. Pine, rosemary, thyme, mint. Vanilla, sweet cream, and a slightly buttery biscuit note not dissimilar from a good Irish, however short lived. Cocoa and coffee poke in a little. Things ride out on that creamy vanilla and pine. Medium length finish due to the decent oil content. Other notes: Over the course of this review, I realized that the overall character hinted that this was aged in barrels with not much char and that the spirit itself had a uniquely Tennessee character - and I was right. No. 1 char on the barrels and distilled in TN. And as noted previous, some may find that this presents younger than it is. While 6 years isn't pushing any limits, it's not necessarily young, either. This shows a unique combination of no chill filtration alongside very low char. Would I buy this again? Maybe - it's a little expensive for what it is. Would I suggest this to anybody? Only those seeking something a little different and off the wall. Otherwise, the novelty here may not be all that interesting.
