Bushwood Front 9, 7 Year - Single Barrel, Straight Kentucky Bourbon 47.5% ALC / VOL - 95 PROOF
Nesting in the middle of bourbon’s sweet spot of 6 to 8 years is this incredible expression, and our sophomore release in the Front 9 vertical. Bushwood’s Front 9, 7 , Year is absolutely incredible, and it’s very much like the vast difference between the maturity of your 6 year old child and when they turn 7. It’s theoretically impossible to love them more, but somehow you do. This 95 Proof gem has the mouth feel and taste of a higher proof, uncut bourbon, but at a more approachable ABV, allowing for entry into your stable of daily drinkers. Savor the moment.
Mash Bill: 75%, Corn, 21 % Rye, 4% Malted Barley
Tasting Notes: Toffee, butterscotch, intriguing orange zest, smoky oak, spices, subtle root beer and stewed cherries are call-outs.
Appearance: Mahogany... deep, dark, intriguing. Medium char after-effects, artisanal perfection
Palate: Silky, viscous mouth feel, roasted almonds, candied citrus peel. Cinnamon and caramel lead to a well balanced flavor profile. Crushed toffee and subtle mint finish.
Nose: Sweet maple with subtle vanilla and caramel lingering.
Finish: Medium to long finish with a peppery rye spice on the side palate.
