Ten years in the past, bourbon distilled in Alabama was unprecedented. After we reviewed the unique Conecuh Ridge launch from Clyde Could’s in 2013, we needed to clarify that good bourbon didn’t come completely from Kentucky and that whiskey made in Alabama deserved a strive. Fortunately, these days are lengthy gone. At the moment, Clyde Could’s is a well known and fashionable distillery providing a vary of whiskeys that we’ve got loved for years. At the moment we pattern the brand new Conecuh Ridge launch from Clyde Could’s. It has been launched to commemorate the opening of the Conecuh Ridge Distillery in Troy, Alabama, which would be the new house of the distillery’s operations. This launch is 5 years previous, non-chill filtered, and bottled at a good 100.6 proof.
Regardless of the upper proof, the bourbon exhibits a reasonably restrained nostril, providing light notes of frivolously roasted peanuts, brown sugar, caramel, vanilla, and only a contact of astringency. On the palate, although, it bursts to life. Roasted peanuts and vanilla come roaring out of the glass first, with wealthy caramel becoming a member of them midpalate. A little bit of an alcohol burn comes alongside for the experience, nevertheless it appears to suit the whiskey’s daring taste profile. Brown sugar seems a little bit late within the recreation and stays for the end, which is pretty lengthy. Including water integrates and rounds off the flavors, and a few individuals will favor to take action, however I discover myself having fun with this whiskey most once I sipped it straight, all weapons blazing. For the next proof, five-year-old whiskey, that is very nicely put collectively and pretty reasonably priced in addition.
100.6 proof.
