This limited edition, distillery bottling bourbon, is aged for a minimum of 2-3 years in Reservoir's "small barrel" casks, then finished in an Ardent milk stout barrel for a further 2.5 years. Batch #4 from 2021 is 15% wheat, 70% corn, and 15% rye.
It features the most important bourbon aromas, where oak and milkshake vanilla notes are side tastes of the main cherry flavor, intense and bold. Later it turns into a slightly more bitter sensation, rich in herbal notes but also in very dark chocolate hints. At the same time, there is a unique, rarely seen before creamy texture on the palate, which makes it a different experience. A particular product with a high ABV, a true exercise of creativity.
93Among the whiskies tested in blind tastings and reviews throughout the year, those scoring the best get reselected. These products were then tried once again in a new blind tasting, which means not knowing what they are during the tasting. The only indication on the sample concerns the ABV content: a red mark states that the product has an ABV higher than 50% (100° proof). The test results are then compared, and the TOP 10 is made.
