BLUE NOTE – JUKE JOINT WHISKEY

Memphis, TN Bourbon Uncut, Unfiltered

Bourbon Street Liquors Barrel Pick

116.7 Proof

Nose:  Toasted sugar, maple, and pound cake come out. There’s a strong smack of alcohol top note here that keeps flitting in and out. There are notes such as sarsaparilla, toffee, hazelnut, and game meat or smokey leather. Fruit notes are pretty sparse, leaning slightly toward candied orange or white grape.

Palate:  Moderate in weight, leaning thick as it sits. Heat starts building quickly, and the edges can get rough. Toasted sugar and cake are present with hits of oak, smoke, root beer. There are some tobacco notes here has well, with just a hint of burnt marshmallow, and a touch of caramelizing green banana towards the transition to the finish.

Finish:  The ending maintains that heat and pulls in more notes of roasted pecan, slight pastry, and again, a cola or root beer like note.
