Description:
"Straight Outta Kiddush" - J&B ~5.5 year staved MGP wheated bourbon picked by the private Jews and Booze group. They took a barrel of 5 year, 6 month MGP wheated bourbon and added recharred oak staves from a used barrel for 6 months. Then they bottled half of it (“Straight Outta Kiddush”).
Tasting Notes:
Nose: Pecan pie, the crumble part of apple crumble, caramel. Palate: Outta the way, OWA! For those that lean towards wheated bourbons, this whiskey is your ace. Saccharine pixie stick sweetness jumps out first and has caramel nipping at its ass trying to get into first. Cola and vanilla are not far behind, joined by some fruity ester notes that are probably from a made up fruit -- or at least not one that this writer has had. Finish: Long, still sweet with cola flavors in there too. For the age and mash bill, you'll be hard pressed to find better. Add an ice cube to this one and serve it to your spouse who "can't stand bourbon" and they'll still not like bourbon but they'll say that this is their favorite.
