Tasting Notes: Elegant and perfumed, the nose opens with notes of candied orange peel, salted caramel, cherry cola, and antique oak. It's sweet and inviting, with a nuanced complexity that evolves as it sits.
The palate bursts with fruit—from bright candied cherry and unripe melon to dried cherry, raisin, and deep, saturated berry notes. There’s a Cognac-like quality in its fruit-forward richness, yet it remains grounded in bourbon with accents of vanilla cream and honey. As it rests in the glass, the profile expands—more perfumed, more coating. Supporting flavors include cola-like brown sugar syrup and a hint of semi-sweet chocolate, all underpinned by mature oak that’s present but never overpowering.
The finish is semi-dry and lingering, echoing those lush fruit tones and aged oak, fading slowly with a warm, elegant trail.
About: If you've been reading these emails for a while, you know we've released several A. Altschuler & Co. barrels since the beginning of 2024. They never seem to last long on the site - and for good reason. Each one tends to hit right in my personal flavor pocket, too. Their 12-year Straight Bourbon from last year ended up being one of my favorite bourbons of the year, and the 11-year 99/1 from earlier this year is tracking to do the same.
Today, we’ve got a rare treat: a blend of 10, 18, and 19-year Kentucky bourbons that have been fine-tuned over the past few months to get just right.
This 106.5 proof blend has playful fruitiness of all kinds that keep the older notes of leather, tobacco, and oak in check and a familiar flavor map we've grown to love from other Altschuler releases while remaining uniquely its own.
