Few Spirits SMWS Single Barrel B4.6 Chicago Bourbon Whiskey 1st Fill #3 Char Quarter Cask (2023) 3cl Sample

The chance to try some rare single barrel Few Spirits Bourbon out of Chicago. Equally as good as Kentucky made stuff. The last 10 years habve shown us that every state in USA with a New Oak Barrel can produce amazing whiskey.

All bourbon is whiskey but not all whiskey is bouron.

This 5 Year old single cask has an older oak profile to it with a cinnamony, old fashioned cocktail finish.

Initial notes from the Panel included sawn rosewood, exotic hardwood resins, winter mulling spices, strawberry syrup and eucalyptus resins. A wonderfully aromatic, complex and rich profile we agreed. Some water brought out orange cocktail butters, celery salts, hessian and herbal toothpaste, plus some peppermint and aniseed. The palate was immensely spicy up front, with lots of American oak spices and lactones, liquorice melting on cast iron, black pepper, root beer syrup and clove oil. Reduction brought bread notes, rye spice, tobacco leaves, camphor and menthol balm and hoppy IPA notes, along with an impression of rosemary wood and natural tar extracts. Powerful but immense.

If you want to see what the purest bourbon is like... here you go. This one is for you.

At 64% it is not a light one by any stretch and one cube of ice or 12 drops of water is ideal for this.

64.8% ABV
