Hey, I do know what you’re going to say: I’ve by no means heard of Cumberland Falls Bourbon. Is that this extra sourced stuff from MGP?
Nope. This isn’t a sourced product, however moderately a 4 12 months outdated Kentucky straight bourbon distilled in Owensboro, Kentucky by the Owensboro Distilling Firm.
What’s the Owensboro Distilling Firm? It’s the corporate behind Inexperienced River and Wheel Horse Bourbon, all working below a handful of various names.
This 4 12 months outdated is the one whiskey bottled below the Cumberland Falls model, so let’s give it a spin.
On the nostril, large peanut notes and caramel corn come collectively to supply a wealthy and barely syrupy texture, with restrained notes of char and a few torched greenery components clinging to the nostrils. It’s youthful and a bit weedy, however by no means brash, feeling like it could make a strong base for mixing.
I discovered the palate gentler than anticipated, with an intriguing caraway high quality. Notes of coconut and sesame are pleasant however delicate additions, with natural notes rising extra forceful with time in glass. Vanilla and caramel dominate the end, sprinkled with crushed peanuts.
All advised, there’s nothing a lot in the way in which of surprises right here — for higher or for worse. I’d stir it up with cola or ginger ale any day.
86 proof.
