Whistle Pig PiggyBack 6 Year Old Bourbon Whiskey (700ml)
Following on from the very successful PiggyBack Rye release is this 6 year old Bourbon. A high corn mash bill with a dash of rye plus six years in char #3 barrels has resulted in a sweeter profile. Combined with a high ABV, it shines in citrus and sour drinks but boasts enough character to enjoy on its own.
Other reviews... Buttered bread, brown sugar, pecan pie, lemon juice, nutmeg, marzipan, and fresh pound cake highlight a warm and inviting nose. There’s a pleasant nuttiness on the palate, along with root beer spices, cocoa powder, cherry pie, and cinnamon hot chocolate all delivered on a creamy texture. Vanilla bean, baking spice, dried herbs, and cherry syrup punctuate the lengthy finish. Sweet dessert flavors paired with earthy and warming spices make this a winner. 90 points - whiskyadvocate.com
