Long finish, I notice this is where the components do the most work, with the old old corn and rye drawing out the palate and finish for ages. Amazing viscosity, it’s rich and viscous, silky texture and layer after layer.

The palate is rich and sweet, packed with a rich, maple, zesty rye spice that balances cracked pepper, orange bitters, ginger and honey against the sweet sauternes wine notes. A punchy orange and pepper note, faint gingerbread, touch of root beer and candied ginger.

Tasting Notes: Beautiful rye spice is the first note to greet you, sweet toffee, rich buttery richness, a touch of orange zest, graham cracker and waffle cone sweetness drift in. State of Distillation: Canada (Alberta). Final Mashbill: 66% Rye, 30% Corn, 4% Barley. Age: 12-21yr Blend of Whiskeys, finished in Sauternes for 6 Months. As a result, our first release is here, and it’s a beaut. 12-21yr blend in Sauternes was the winner for me over other fresh char finishes, port, sherry, etc. Paired with a great finishing period in some serious wine casks made this a winner in my books. Their stocks have complexity, they’re well blended, they have great age statements on the docket, and they have the character and quality that I know y’all will love. It was blended in 2021 and married until re-casking in 2022.įound North is killing it, and I’m happy to make this the first of this type of release for r/bourbon. 12-21yr is a hell of a range, especially for the price. These measurements aren’t the grain bill, they’re the exact volumetric ratios of the volumes of whiskey making up the batch. Their base blend is 50% 12yr Rye, 20% 19yr Rye and 30% 21yr Corn. A great Sauternes is the perfect balance of sweetness and body, and it works so well with such a range of whiskeys (10.2 is still one of the best Octomore’s I’ve ever had, Sauternes finished). If you know me, you know how much I love Suaternes. I tasted through the candidate casks, settling on one I just couldn’t get enough of: cask #4:Sauternes wine finish. They’d release their first ever single barrel to launch the program, and then I’d get first shot to select from their stocks. I’m thrilled that one day their team picked up the phone and asked if I’d want to pick the first single cask going out to a private group. It’s one of the things I respect most about their operations. And they are epic in the level of transparency they offer to folks. But, they have access to a wide range of extra aged stocks. They source whiskey from Canada, and then blend and bottle here in the United States. Many of you know about Found North as they blasted onto the scene over the last 18 months or so. Week 50 – Found North Single Cask Sauternes Finished Cask Strength r/Bourbon Selection Easy sipper and a no contest Old Fashioned king for the holidays that punches heavy neat. Long finish weaves it all together, with a touch of cherry, honeycomb and a rich, musty tobacco character. This pour feels like it’s all about the high rye mash and less about the oak and big tannin character. Definitely not oaky, dry or bitter, but nice structure. The palate combines this sweetness from the nose with a beautiful blend of baking spice and a touch of better, balancing nicely. Complex and powerful on the nose, waffles and maple syrup are an inviting party and promise of pure dessert. Tasting Notes: High rye or highest rye? This spicy bastard of a barrel combines a fat stack of waffles with rich tobacco and a clove and baking spice bite. Info: Cask Strength, Unfiltered, No Additives, No Coloring. Final Mashbill: MGP’s 36% Rye Bourbon Mashbill (60% Corn, 36% Rye, 4% Malted Barley). Week 51 – George Remus Single Barrel, Barrel Proof, r/Bourbon Selection
