Nashville Barrel Co. "Grateful Kelvin" 9-Year Single Barrel Bourbon - Selected by Seelbach's

Age: 9 years

Source: MGP

Proof: proof

Bottle count: 140 bottles

Tasting notes: Super juicy on the nose, like a boozy apple juice box, with maple-dipped green apple and a dusting of tiramisu. As it opens, creamier notes of leather and caramel begin to grow.

The palate is bold and engulfing, yet playful at the same time. A huge wave of dense oak and brown sugar meets baked apples and an almost gummy worm-like sweetness. Sour cherries linger more than anything else, followed by a wave of spice as tropical cocktail notes start to flow.

The finish is long, tingly, and oak-driven. Refreshing and semi-cooling, with nods to mango, cordial cherry, and sour apple candy, while brown sugar-coated oak lingers beyond it all.
