Bear in mind Puncher’s Probability, a sourced Kentucky bourbon bottled in Oregon? Nicely, now they’re again with a 12 yr outdated expression known as The Distance — er, The D12tance. That is really a completely completely different product, a Tennessee-sourced bourbon (so, you recognize who…) that’s completed in California Cabernet Sauvignon casks.
Let’s give it a whirl.
On first whiff this whiskey instantly jogged my memory of 4 Roses, although I do know this was definitely not produced there. Brilliant and fruity, with an undercurrent of fresh-cut wooden, inexperienced herbs, and a floral potpourri observe, there’s a mix of aromas right here that works rather well, melding savory lumberyard components with a vivid, flowery character that feels more and more contemporary and brightly pastoral because it develops within the glass. The palate is gently candy however not overly so, with fruity notes of cherry and peach shortly transferring into spicier components of clove and cinnamon. Vanilla wafers and milk chocolate give the end a soothing high quality; issues really feel nearly proper at 48% abv, with a slight however by no means aggressive warmth. The fade-out is all Mexican chocolate, a contact of spice clinging to the again of an in any other case chocolate-coated throat. Good things.
96 proof.
