Country: USA

Region: Kentucky

Type: Bourbon

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 65%

Score: 95 Points

Brown-Forman’s annual limited-edition 14-year-old Bourbon has a dark and aromatic nose with hints of caramel, figs, cocoa beans, hints of citrus and dry spices, and a nice oakiness. The taste is very thick and chewy with baking spices, dried fruits, and caramel syrup, while hints of citrus and toasted coconut come out as the spices start to fade. Water accentuates the fruity notes while making the mouthfeel a little less chewy. The finish is long and spicy with hints of toasted coconut, citrus fruits, and chocolate. Excellent!
