Tasting notes
Chris Goodrum (Gauntleys)
A blend of Kentucky Corn, Minnesota Rye and North Dakota Malted Barley
Tasted: Feb 2007
An eye watering hit of menthol and alcohol! Crisp rye spices buzz amidst the ultra clean vanilla oak, whilst the fat corn sets a base of fat cotton candy. Monstrously enveloping with hints of dried fruit, liquorice, tobacco, earth, coffee and a touch of violets. All the while the vanilla oak builds and sweetens. Pure and unadulterated, concentrated, young, powerful, complex and continually evolving. This is the hit of real bourbon!
A nuclear blast of menthol hits the tongue. The piquant alcohol almost immediately anesthetises the tongue! Oily rye grains ratchet up the crispness, whilst its youthfulness is displayed with a distinct rose petal note. Earthy and intense, maybe slightly medicinal the hit is undeniably s rampant stagg! Just like the nose the cotton candy like corn creates a solid base, shot through with hints of liquorice. The oak is omnipresent in its pure vanilla form but the balance is never swayed into the oak zone, well the alcohol see’s to that if nothing else! Amazing length – dry almost dusty spices linger and the oak fades into a gentle bitterness and the mouth continues to tingle for a good 5 minutes or so afterwards.
A drop of water sweetens the nose. The oak has become more generous and hints of crystalised orange are released. The palate has become the epitomy of silkiness now. Rye and corn are in total harmony. Even water can’t diminish the controlled rawness of the spirit. If you need to blow the cobwebs away then have a dram of this. (tasting Note of the 2007 bottling 72.4%)
