Tasting Notes: The nose is decadent and complex, a fruit cocktail of red fruits, grapes, melons, and citrus – all sugary with toffee and oak continuing.
The palate hits with citrus spices at first, definitely showing its proof. What comes after is a cascade of beautifully creamy stone fruits and sugared grapes, one after the other after the other. This a balanced, creamy, yet enveloping whiskey.
It’s a touch floral, with honey, apricot, cranberry, toffee, and dark chocolate lingering on saturated and trailing with perfect oak.
About the product:
The latest in our Double Oak Series, the Sauternes finish is Old Line’s first foray into finishing our whiskey in casks that previously held a sweet white wine. Sauternes is produced in the Bordeaux region of France and it is the result of a phenomenon known as The Noble Rot, a condition that “raisinises” the grapes while still on the vine, concentrating the sugars. The result is a sweet, pleasantly acidic and fruit forward dessert wine that yields fantastic barrels for finishing whiskey.
These barrels lend to our Sauternes finished whiskey a springtime bouquet of fruit and floral character that wonderfully balance the honey, toffee and dark chocolate notes of our flagship spirit.
