Adam’s Notes
This was Norm’s pick from the 2023 Tournament of Bourbons, and what a whisky it is. Distilled in Kentucky and blended by Yahisa Yusuke, the master blender of Nagahama Distillery and creator of the incredible Amahagan range of malts. Check out the video below to see what Norm and I thought of this limited edition bourbon.
From The Official Website
Nose: A savory mix of light rye bread with sweet caramel richness with a hint of tangy fruit salad that tickles the nostrils and pleasantly teases the palate, begging for a taste of the liquid.
Palate: The initial wave of buttery rye bread provides a full bodied taste and feel from the start. Across the tongue the savory mix of rye and caramel combine into a cinnamon and caramel sauce that clings to the taste buds to bring out a bit of fruitiness, mostly apple and pear, that, all combined, provide a flavorful, pleasant, lasting finish.
