Tasting Notes: The nose is a tropical fruit cocktail with rich vanilla, new leather, sugary spices and a pinch of fresh oak.
The palate is rich and coating, giving lots of vanilla and a myriad of red fruits and dried fruits before chocolatey oak and a nice Memphis hug. Amped up spices here, but still has sweetness surrounding.
The finish is creamy and spiced with cinnamon, pepper, dried cherry, date, and raisin with leather.

Story: In June of 2019, the rickhouse that stored much of Blue Note’s inventory collapsed in a terrible summer storm, spilling thousands of barrels and millions of dollars into the muck and mud. Most of the barrels were destroyed by the incredible force of nearly 10 million pounds crumbling six stories to the ground.
We thought all was lost, but a special few somehow survived the disaster. Surviving the collapse, however, turned out to be only the beginning of the barrels’ journey.
For the next four months, the barrels were left exposed to the elements before the wreckage could be properly assessed and cleaned up. In these ensuing months, the sweltering summer heat bore down upon the barrels day after day, darkening the outside and forcing the bourbon inside incredibly deep into the oak. Several thunderstorms passed through as well, pummeling the barrels for days, causing their bands to later rust and break. As summer faded into fall, the nights grew colder, forcing the whiskey back out of the now worn oak. After the wreckage was cleaned up and every barrel was assessed, the company found that indeed some had survived.
