Unforgettable complexity unfurls in every pour of BELLE MEADE Single Barrel Sour Mash Straight Bourbon Whiskey. This unique single barrel expression, BARREL NO. 1422, showcases the epitome of 'aged to perfection,' delivering a distinct symphony of sweet and spicy notes that captivate the senses.

Tasting Notes

Nose: A rich and inviting bouquet of caramelized sugar and vanilla bean immediately captivates. Deeper inspection reveals nuanced notes of dried fig, worn leather, and a delicate spice reminiscent of nutmeg, all underscored by a subtle hint of toasted oak.

Palate: The entry is remarkably smooth, coating the palate with a luxurious wave of sweet toffee and dark cherry. A mid-palate development introduces a delightful interplay of baking spices – cinnamon and clove – alongside a robust charred oak character. A whisper of dark chocolate emerges, balancing the sweetness with a pleasant bitterness.

Finish: Long and satisfying, the finish lingers with a warm embrace of spicy oak and a residual sweetness from the vanilla and a faint echo of stone fruit. A touch of black pepper provides a gentle counterpoint, leaving the palate clean yet yearning for another sip.
