Down Home Double Oaked American Whiskey Single Barrel Select “Mash and Journey”
This bourbon comes to us from Down Home, who sourced this whiskey from MGP in Lawrenceburg and double oaked. Bottled by Whiskey Thief Distilling Co in Frankfort Kentucky. That is all I could find. Note I had this blind so keep that in mind reading my notes.
ABV: 60.5%
Nose:Spearmint, Minerality, Faint Green Apple, Bready
Palate: Lighter mouthfeel, Bready, Minerality, A bit tannic, Dry, Vegetal
Finish: Medium length finish, Bready, Minerality, Green Wood, Green Apple
Rating: 4/10 It’s not bad, but these sharp green wood notes take it down a few notches for me.
Guess: Rye, aged 4 years, 50-52% abv, high rye.
Reveal: 8yr double Oaked bourbon from MGP
Not really for me, the tannins are too pronounced for me. I can see why some folks would like this but overall its not for me.
