History,
It’s quite a unique Bourbon, unlike anything we’ve ever made or tasted. The experience is something of a three-way conversation between the dry cocoa quality of the chocolate malt; a balanced amount of oak; and this unique spicy quality (sort of like kasha-style buckwheat, perhaps blueberry skin) quite distinct from that of rye. The finish dances away on the oaty spice, dusted with Belgian cocoa. Despite the suggestion of “chocolate” in the grains and the name, it never turns cloying, tending to delicate dryness.
Tasting Notes,
Nose: Malty caramel and roasted buttery pecan. Very interesting and layered amount of mixed nuts. Moving into a sweet and salty caramel over creme brûlée.
Palate: milk chocolate and white chocolate blend with parlines
Finish: A long finish that’s nutty and savory while still bringing in sweet caramel and a pile of chocolate–like different chocolates.
