This is a bourbon from Brown Forman. It is of their yearly LE. This particular year came from 120 barrels that were distilled in 2008 and aged for 11 years that yielded 13,200 bottles. Let’s see how it holds up.
ABV: 52.5%
Nose: Baking spices, pepper, nutmeg, slight cinnamon. Classic Vanilla cream, brown sugar,
Palate: Medium mouthfeel. Caramel, baking spices, a bit of heat, clove, vanilla frosting
Finish: Medium length, cinnamon, nutmeg, classic vanilla, a slight metallic tinge, brown sugar, slight oak spice on the very end.
Rating: 6/10
If you like your bourbons on the sweeter side this one is for you. Big vanilla frosting, baking spices, and a brown sugar bomb all the way throughout. It hits all the notes you would want in a classic bourbon, but it does not really rise above that for me.
