Comprised of 11 barrels yielding 710 bottles, this 25 Year Bourbon was distilled in the spring and fall of 1989. The whiskey was aged at the Van Winkle Distillery in Shively, KY on the lower levels of their warehouse until 2002. At that time, the barrels were transferred to the Buffalo Trace Distillery where they continued to age on the lower floors of their brick warehouse. The bourbon was transferred to stainless steel in 2014 to cease aging. It is sold in a Glencairn Crystal glass decanter, each one engraved with bottle information. The decanter is packaged in a box designed by North Carolina's Heritage Handcrafted with the lid constructed from oak staves from the 11 barrels used in aging the bourbon. This limited release will be available from April 2017 at a "suggested retail price" of $1800.

3/24/18 Nose: Cedar and pine, orange and baking spice Palate: Very complex. Oaky tannins bounce around against pops of alcohol heat and orange zest. Waves of cedar from the nose afterward. incredibly long finish.
Fusel nose, wafts of enjoyable essence. Palate is so extremely disappointing it hurts. Tasted like water was added. Finish is long and oaky
Tasted like eating a Carmel candy. Extremely smooth. The best I've ever tasted.
Same style and price bracket, best rated first.
