Regular price
$64.99
Sale
Age: 8-year
Proof: 119 Proof
Tasting Notes: The nose is crisp yet rounded - dutch apple pie with caramel icing, dried cherries, salted maple, softer orange candies and potpourri-like spices.
The palate adds in a bit more cherry candy and spiced oak to the front of the palate, but then moves into these familiar candy bar notes like batch 1 - milk chocolate, nougat, peanut and caramel. There’s a bit of orange soda like sweetness and effervescence that moves in mid palate and continues on, but more syrupy and balanced in the sip from batch 1.
The finish is long and softly syrupy, with a sweet, orange-infused cane sugar sweetness lasting beautifully into a creamy, caramello and brown sugary oak finish.
About the product: As independent bottlers, Rolling Fork Spirits has revived this 113-year-old bourbon brand that traces its roots back to the early 1900s. The brand survived Prohibition after being acquired by the R.E. Wathen Co. in 1926, and became part of the American Medicinal Spirits Co. portfolio in 1927. The return of Bourbon de Luxe in 2024 marks the revival of this historic brand, which follows the motto created by the Wathen family in 1788: No Finer Spirits Can Be Made.
Small batch blend of 8-year old Kentucky Straight Bourbon:
- 4 barrels of bourbon with a mashbill of 60c/36r/4mb
