Distilled: Kentucky

Aged: Kentucky

Age: 6-8 years old

Proof: 110 proof

Tasting Notes: Nose: Super rich vanilla buttercream frosting, fresh baked wheat bread, honey tea, brown sugar and caramel. Keep sniffing and you get an inviting note of sweet oak, a dusting of cinnamon-sugar, fresh from the oven sugar cookies, and to round out, a hint of sugar dusted strawberries and raspberries.

Taste: On the palate, you will find the mouthfeel to be super oily and punchy with a perfect amount of tannins. First you find those sugar dusted berries right up front with a touch of oak tannins and spice, followed up by powdered sugar, light table syrup, toasted vanilla bean, chewy caramel candies, light floral tea, and baked wheat bread dusted with cinnamon. Rounding out the palate is a healthy amount of brown sugar, cinnamon bark, and more fruit.

Finish: A slight touch of floral tea with honey starts the finish, transitioning into a musty note of rickhouse floor and vintage brown sugar. Dried raspberries, banana bread with caramel sauce follows secondly, giving super dessert flavors that pair well with the cinnamon and nutmeg spices that come through with a bit of maple pancakes and licorice, and cola to round out on a delightful, but not overly sweet finish.

Description:  This is not our first Kentucky Straight RCLR Bourbon release, but it is the first one of this year! Utilizing a lot of high wheat bourbon in this blend, we worked for some time on making something that could compare and stand up to other wheaters on the shelf. The 6 year component is one we have used a lot due to its complexity and rich oak forward profile. On average, these 6 year barrels only end up yielding 10-15 gallons each. Enter the 8 year component and that's where the soft spice, light fruit, and heavy brown sugars come into play. As always, we hope you enjoy 25B6 Kentucky Straight Bourbon and its cask strength proof of 110, that just continues to grow the more it sits in the glass.
