My Notes

🥃 Bardstown Collaboration Series: Goose Island

👃 Nose: Chocolate candy like tootsie roll and dark cherry.

👅 Taste: A delightful combination of coffee, chocolate, cherry, vanilla, and oak.

🎯 Finish: Lingering notes of chocolate covered cherry, espresso, and oak.

🔥 Proof: 100.

🤑 Price: $170.

I’ve been looking for this bourbon since it came out. You’d think living in Chicago, I’d be able to find it easier than some. I went to both Goose Island locations and several liquor stores, and nothing. I found it online and had it shipped. It was WORTH IT. I’ve been a fan of Bardstown for years, but this might be my favorite variant they have put out. Chocolate tootsie roll, dark cherry, coffee and some vanilla oak makes this a complete sipper. Its a bit on the pricey side, but a good option to keep in your bar for special occasions, like after a nice dinner. 4/5 Stars.

How to Taste
With your whiskey at room temperature, put the glass near your nose and close your eyes and inhale. What do you smell? Drink a sip, just enough to cover your tounge and swish it around front, left and right. then down the hatch. What do you taste? If it burns a little, maybe try to add a couple drops of water. Otherwise, try again - usually after the initial burn, you may get some of the flavors you are looking for.
