Shortbarrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon 'The Bees Knees III'

Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey that has been double baked, toasted, and honey-finished. We started with a 50/50 blend of 4-year Kentucky Straight Bourbon from Bardstown Bourbon Company and 5-year Kentucky Straight Bourbon from Green River Distillery. After blending, we added the bourbon back into 4 of Atlanta’s Own Honey Next Door Honey Barrels – 1 Medium Toast Barrel and 3 Kentucky Straight Heavy Char Bourbon Barrels. After aging for at least 60 days, we re-blended the barrels and bottled this release at barrel-proof.

Proof: 112

Age: 4-Year Blend

Tasting Notes: Aroma: Honey dominates the nose, and it won’t fade away. Deep notes of caramel, apples, pepper, and honey candies linger in the background. Mouth: Sweet honey, buttery popcorn, cinnamon spice, a “bit o honey” candy-like feel that keeps going, coating your mouth with a honey roasted cashew smile and heat. Finish: Bring on the proof. The long, thick, rich, creamy, honey finish remains. The proof lets you know it's there and wants you to come back for more without overpowering the vanilla, honey, and oak that permeate from the barrel-aging.
