Final summer season, we tasted Fireside Single Barrel Bourbon from the irreverent and modern Colorado craft distillery Mile Excessive Spirits. Right now, we’re digging into the oldest whiskey providing below their Hearth label, a Bottled in Bond Bourbon. So far as I can inform, it’s basically the identical rye bourbon as the only barrel however bottled in small batches and aged “simply shy of just about half 1 / 4 of 4 a long time,” per the distillery. That one took me a minute to determine, too. We thought the only barrel confirmed loads of promise final 12 months, so let’s see what one other 12 months of barrel growing older has performed for this one.

The aroma showcases freshly baked notes of candy, buttery cornbread, sugary praline, and Andes Mints that give a drinker loads to ponder earlier than the primary sip. The palate is, as soon as once more, wealthy and oily with a formidable silky texture that gives up acquainted notes of toasted sugar and cream soda, together with a contact of caramel apple. On the mid-palate, burly notes of barrel char and recent oak muscle in on a few of that sweeter, softer nuance. As soon as the end arrives, issues have dried out a bit with a light, woody spice and fading notes of chewy caramel and tobacco. Like the only barrel, this bonded expression of Hearth bourbon is hampered, simply barely, by an overabundance of oak. Nonetheless spectacular, nonetheless.

100 proof.
