Nashville Barrel Co #857 Ol Hickory 8-Year Finished in Hickory Barrel 108.8 proof – Selected by Seelbach s Hot on Sale
Description
Age: 8-year hickory syrup finished
Proof: 108.8
Bottle count: 120
Tasting Notes: The nose is a smorgasbord of creamy, sweet sugars, a plethora of ripe fruits, and beautifully buried oak. Raspberry, strawberry, grape jelly, cantaloupe melon, honeydew, fresh honey, maple syrup, vanilla extract. You could honestly pull up a flavor wheel and throw a dart and it’s probably here on the nose. All that, and still grounded with a subtly smoky, earthy, yet sugary antique oak.
Make no mistake, this is a sweet-forward pour. The palate is as refreshing and is it voluptuous in creaminess. Almost like a pudding in texture, theres plenty of honey dipped melon notes, watermelon candy even seems to slide in, with beautiful, syrupy finishing. While giving all sorts of fruits and sugars, theres still this really nice 21% rye presence hitting against each sip to give structure. All the while, a beautiful kiss of chocolate and oak hold it all in place.
The finish, while sweet and syrupy, revisits some of the slightly smoky and earthiness notes first noticed on the nose. Longer linger gives a touch more focus to the age of the whiskey, but don’t expect it to be the main focus.
