Tasting Notes: On the nose, there’s a mix of toasted s’mores, sweet marzipan, and dried raisins. The palate brings rich dark chocolate, a hint of clove spice, and the tang of tart cherries. The finish is bright with orange peel, a touch of sugar cane sweetness, and a light tropical note of piña colada.

Bottle count: 168 bottles

About: The Nelson Brothers brand of spirits pays tribute to Andy and Charlie Nelson who, in 2006, revived the distillery founded by their great-great-great grandparents after it was lost to Prohibition in 1909. This straight bourbon whiskey, selected by Fred Minnick, was expertly distilled and aged in a single American oak barrel for nine years before being bottled at cask strength at Nelson’s Green Brier Distillery in Nashville, Tennessee.
