65: Duke Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Welcome to Blue Collar Whiskey Drinkers. On this episode we review Duke Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey.

 

 

"The opening is sweet yet subtle charred oak, roast nuts, saddle leather, hints of vanilla, a whiff of nutmeg and a slight hint of pepper with faint hint of treacle toffee and crème caramel. Mid palate provides some pepper spice and earthy balance with a slight hint of charred meats, a deeply satisfying robust sweetness combined with oak. Finishing with a deeply satisfying richness and sweetness in perfect combination.

Meticulously blended to replicate and honor the tasting notes and profile preferred by John Wayne using his original recipe from 1962 and his private collection to guide flavor and aromatics. A proprietorial mash bill of predominately American bent corn with additions of rye with sixth row barley. Distilled and aged in Kentucky the old fashioned way, aged in heavily charred new and hand built American Oak barrels. Aged a minimum of 5 years in barrels hand selected for perfection."
