Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Fra Buffalo Trace kommer denne „hvede“ bourbon - den eneste af sin art i verden. I blandingen indgår Kentucky majs, North Dakota vinter hvede og maltet byg fra North Dakota. Det var William Larue Weller som i 1849 fandt på denne opskrift, som kræver mindst 7 års lagring i friske hvid-egs fade. Denne bourbon er delikat og nærmest „sprød“ i
smagen.

Næse: Natur aroma af lanolin, mandelolie, og cremet majs.

Smag: fed, moderat sød, og stærkt hvede noter (som hvede kiks)

Eftersmag: Eftersmagen er lang, sød og intenst kornet.

Uncut & Unfiltered Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

The initial nose impact is full of cotton candy and black walnuts. It develops into luscious dried fruit sweetness that is in perfect harmony with soft vanilla, powdered sugar and cinnamon spices. Upon sipping it starts with a smooth full mouth feel, and as it drifts back on the palate —BOOM— an explosion of big bourbon flavors. Oak, smoky sweetness and candied fruit dance across your tongue. This quaff is not without heat as it warms the senses without flame. It's a hearty drink, but the finish is very fresh and invigorating.

It takes a back seat to none.
