New England Barrel Company - Straight Bourbon Small Batch # 2021-04 Proof 118.36
Aged 4 Years, this bourbon is sourced from the OZ Tyler/Green River Distillery in Kentucky where it spent the first 3.75 years of its life maturing into the full bodied Bourbon that drew us to this particular production run. Dark Amber in color, you will find salted caramel, baked pears or apples on the nose. The palate provides classic bourbon profile with honey, vanilla, and toasted oak present in each sip. The long finish is where this magic happens and tasting experience completes itself with a nice Kentucky Hug!
This release presents a nose of butterscotch and toffee which carries through to the palate. There the brightness of the butterscotch is met with the depth of caramel and baked apples. The flavors carry through the finish, which is medium-to-long with a spicy note one would expect with a bourbon just over four years old.
