This seventeen year old expression is made in the same way as its bourbon bottled in bond counterpart, but with the addition of sugar maple charcoal filtration. It’s made using a mash bill of 70% corn, 15% rye, 15% malted barley with the corn grown on the head distiller’s farm. The whole ethos of Fort Evans is to use low distillation and barrel entry proofs to recreate a pre-Prohibition texture. The result? A wonderfully full-bodied whiskey that’s as complex as it is delicious.
Tasting note:
Nose: Milk chocolate notes arrive first, followed by plum, dark cherry, and a round, rich honey.
Palate: Consistent with the nose, with the addition of red berries, baking spices, and a sticky caramel.
Finish: The baking spices come through as the whiskey dries out.
