Sip a tangible piece of history, where complexity and unparalleled smoothness define every pour.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e A captivating, complex bouquet immediately presents with dried dark fruits – fig, date, and stewed prunes – interwoven with sweet baking spices like cinnamon, clove, and a touch of nutmeg. Underlying this are distinct notes of antique leather, old oak, and a subtle earthiness, reminiscent of a well-aged library. A fleeting hint of spearmint or menthol peeks through, alongside a delicate floral essence and a whisper of caramel and vanilla.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e The entry is remarkably smooth and coating, showcasing a rich tapestry of flavors. A wave of rich, dark caramel and toffee leads, quickly followed by the robust, peppery spice characteristic of aged rye. Dried apricot and a faint orange zest add a fruity brightness. The oak influence is paramount, presenting as polished wood, subtle char, and a delightful, sweet pipe tobacco note. Delicate undertones of dark chocolate and roasted nuts emerge on the mid-palate, balanced by a pervasive, lingering sweetness that is never cloying.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long, elegant, and exceptionally warming. The spice of the rye gently fades, leaving behind a prolonged interplay of sweet oak, dried fruit, and a pleasant, lingering warmth in the chest. Hints of dark, chewy molasses and a touch of savory earthiness persist, inviting contemplation. The finish is remarkably clean for an aged spirit, with no harsh edges, only a graceful evolution of flavor that encourages another sip.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NDC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67517345661146,"sku":"BOURBON-1781562672973","price":1810.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0656\/8263\/7018\/files\/1791611823846-1.png?v=1791611837","url":"https:\/\/takeyourpickliquors.com\/products\/j-a-doughertys-sons-co-distillers-doughertys-blend-of-pennsylvania-straight-rye-whiskies-80-proof-1","provider":"Take Your Pick Liquors","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
