Bourbon (Biscuit) Bourbon
This Bourbon binds the brilliance of bourbon and bourbon biscuits beautifully. Triumphs of alliteration aside, this fantastic expression features Kentucky bourbon infused with actual, full-on, real bourbon biscuits, and blended with dark chocolate and vanilla to accentuate those familiar flavours from the eponymous biscuits (and you could say they appear in the eponymous bourbon too, I suppose). Wonderfully satisfying sipped neat, and more than capable of putting a chocolatey twist on classic cocktails, like an Old Fashioned or Manhattan. Not only is it tasty, it's also a great example of a heteronym! Bonus.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Earthy vanilla and runny caramel, with a core of chocolate ganache underneath. There's still plenty of oaky spices and buttery notes from the bourbon coming through.
Palate
Cacao, another helping of authentic vanilla, a hint of orange developing shortly joined by malt and more chocolate.
Finish
Bourbon biscuit sweetness on the finish, with a touch of buttered corn and toasted oak.
Overall
There's clearly a focus on the chocolatey, biscuity notes, but the bourbon's character is never obscured and remains integral to the fantastic flavour profile.
