Tasting notes
Chris Goodrum (Gauntleys)
Barrel No: 3051
Dist: Jan 1992 Btl: 2010
A distinctively powerful Bardstown nose, yet it displays a serious degree of elegance. Corn fat and robust, the oak powers in leaving a honeyed wake. Full and creamy with stewed apple, liquorice, toffee and violets. The spicy rye nips gently beneath. With time hints of coffee and linseed oil become apparent.
The palate is again a harmonious blend of power and elegance. Fat corn, oak and gentle rye flavours meld together beautifully. Quite oily, with mouth coating honey and a slight cotton candy note. One can sense the rye building on the tongue and it duly arrives with a gorgeous spiciness leading to a slightly bitter finish, which the vanillins try there best to soften. Seriously good!
