Tasting Notes: The nose is sweet toffee, biscotti, and softly spiced earthiness before a creamy, nutty charred oak. Flecks of anise and florality throughout, as well as a touch of smoke that dissipates as it sits in the glass.
The palate strikes first with cherry pie, spiced honey, salted caramel, nips of pepper, cinnamon, and allspice before well charred oak.
The finish is long is lasting, deeply spiced with dark fruits, leather, and well cooked caramel.
Story:
Fortuna was a prolific brand in the United States from the late 1800’s until the 1960’s, when they closed the doors on the distillery. It is now being revitalized for a new generation of whiskey lovers by the people behind Rare Character Whiskey - Pablo
Moix and Peter Nevenglosky.
At the height of America's original whiskey boom of the late nineteenth century, a German immigrant named Phil Hollenbach crafted a brand called Fortuna that helped define the early days of the modern Bourbon industry. Hollenbach left a lasting mark on the whiskey trade having found great success in Louisville, Kentucky. He strived to delight customers far and wide by sharing his "Taste of Good Fortune."
Over a hundred years since its inception, Fortuna Bourbon has now been revitalized for a new generation of whiskey lovers to celebrate. Aged a minimum of six years and hand-selected by the folks behind Rare Character Whiskey, the spirit of Hollenbach's passion and dedication lives on in this remarkable Kentucky Straight Bourbon.
