Belle Meade 9 Year Old Oloroso Sherry Cask Finish Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Belle Meade 9 Year Old Sherry Cask Finished Bourbon won the Double Gold Medal at the 2015 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
Tasting Notes:
Nose: Sweet full notes of dried fruits mingle with caramel and floral notes.
Palate: Dark, rich dried stone fruits follow by caramel, and Rye spice.
Finish: Long and lingering, with touches of nuts, vanilla bread pudding, and spiced cocoa.
"Plenty of sherry and wine fruit on the nose, from that Oloroso cask, along with caramel, from the bourbon itself. Velvety, silky mouthfeel, and smooth on the palate, with a wonderful caramel and vanilla sweetness. Hints of spice, plum, cloves, molasses and brown sugar lurking in background. A light, quick burn fades to a pleasant warming on the finish." - Jake Emen, Distiller (92 Points)
