From the team
It’s like a heatwave! B5 has had a good run this year, and this .11 just adds to that lineage — tobacco, creaming soda, liquorice, and chocolate all come together to form this killer 7-year-old Tennessee single-cask bourbon. Appropriately punchy natural cask strength of 63% and available for just $169 a bottle….don’t walk, run for this one! And this is not just for the American whiskey fanatics, I encourage you to take the plunge and try this new single cask bourbon!
Tasting Panel notes
A varied and complex aroma initially suggested rye breads, sun lotion, sultanas, eucalyptus toothpaste and madeira cake. We also got chocolate bourbon biscuits dipped in old cognac, roasted chestnuts and new leather shoes. Water added a vegetal aspect evoking tomato vines in a greenhouse, clay plant pots, a leather tobacco pouch and hints of liquorice and cocoa powder. The neat palate dazzled with similar complexity – lots of myrtle, spiced lemon marmalade, orange cocktail bitters, shoe leather, coal tar soap and gentle red chilli heat. With reduction there was more gentle vanilla cream soda sweetness, strawberry jam, molten liquorice, green ginger wine, herbal bitters and date molasses. Syrupy, sweet and wonderfully spicy!
