This wild barrel is such a contrast to the other one we bought, I simply couldn't say no. It's so open and lively, it simply jumped out in the tasting and was an immediate yes for me. Nothing more to add, so let's get to tasting. This one is a full two shades darker than the other barrel, clocking a solid tawny (1.4). The nose is absolutely explosive, offering dense raisin-y fruit, sweet crema di mocha, candied nuts, cinnamon apple fritter, and heated aspen. It's like eating an absolutely decadent dessert in an absolutely pristine dry sauna. On the palate, it's rich and sweet with burnt sugar, exotic wood, cooked peaches, pipe tobacco, and vanilla extract. With air, the density and intensity of both the nose and palate continue to smolder and build. This is simply a massive and powerful whisky that will likely shock some who snag it blindly.

Notes

The two gorgeous single casks from the old distillery in Owensboro in far west of Kentucky are another sign that the little distillery on the banks for the Ohio River is capable of producing. The historic plant was founded in the late 1980s and served as a base for the Medley Family bourbons before they sold in late 1980s. It was purchased by Sam Medley who spent years trying to relaunch the stills, but never was able to distill at the old plant. Now renamed Green River it was purchased by Bardstown Bourbon Company who have launched an excellent barrel program using some of their older stocks. This stupendous and dark bourbon was distilled on January the 9th 2019 and aged on the fourth floor of warehouse G. Bottled at full cask strength of 125.4 proof, the character is hugely aromatic with a deep tropical character that's as striking as it is inviting. It over delivers in every way.
