Age: 11, 19 and 20-Year 

Source: Heritage Kentucky

Proof: 108.68 proof

Tasting Notes: The nose is engulfing, with fresh cherries, crisp red apple, and layers of antique oak. The woodiness moves in phases, first sweet, next perfumed, and lastly mature and elegant, no doubt an intentional orchestration. Layered in between the phases of oak is classic, easy caramel syrup, flecked with barrel char and a slightly effervescent Sprecher’s grape soda. Despite its 108 proof, the nose is dense and potent.

The palate leads with that rounded grape note, moderately thick and syrupy. It continues with a sweet, sticky touch, like a mix of orange blossom honey and violet jam. There’s also a freshly baked cherry turnover note right in the mid-palate.

The layers of oak from the nose continue to unfold beautifully in the finish, giving an elegant display of its combination of ages, starting sweet and ending semi-drying.

A beautifully done blend, one that comes off refined as opposed to finished.

About: After several months, A. Altschuler & Co. returns with something extraordinary: a rare blend of 11, 19, and 20-year-old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskeys, meticulously sourced from Kentucky's most prestigious distilleries.
