2024 Review (Michters.com)- APPEARANCE- rich mahogany, PALATE- an exceptional whiskey that opens with deep rich molasses giving way to layers of jammy fruit and transitioning into rich chocolate and baking spice. FINISH- Lingering and complex.
Tasting Notes:
About:
A bourbon with malted rye in its mash bill that’s had some aging in Chinquapin oak air-dried and seasoned outdoors for 36 months before toasting and charring. It is bottled at 108 proof and priced at $120.
Appearance:
This whiskey has a vibrant reddish amber color in the glass, offering moderate legs and viscosity.
Nose:
The initial aromatics suggest a sweeter vanilla, cherry cola-type consideration with a strong backbone of oak. There are also hints of bubble gum, maple, delicious red apples, and an undercurrent of freshly baked rye bread.
Palate:
As one takes a sip, strong rye spice, and baking vanilla abound on the palate, bonded together with an interesting Red Vines twist. Also of note are tastes of burnt orange, black pepper, raw almonds, and dried cherries.
Finish:
This finishes a bit spicy, sweet, and a little oaky, carrying itself to the end before a length fade.
Comments:
Bomberger’s Declaration Kentucky Straight Bourbon (2024) showcases the power of using Chinquapin oak particularly well while also leaving some room for other flavors to emerge. If you can find a bottle, it’s a good bourbon for the home bar.
