    The Schtick: This is a combination of mashbills from an undisclosed distiller containing a wheated mashbill and a high rye mashbill. This combination is bottled at 48% ABV. Let’s dive on in.

    Distiller: Heaven Hill

    Bottler: Lux Row

    Selection: N/A

    Brand: Daviess County

    ABV: 48% ABV

    Age: 4 Years


    Nose: Nutty and filled with caramel notes. Some young must, a hint of tobacco and a faint oak presence. This is clearly young, but caters nicely to what I enjoy in less mature releases: sweet dessert notes with a hint of tobacco.

    Taste: Thin on the palate. Some must, but just a hair. Otherwise, plenty of caramel, some melon, cinnamon and a bit of vanilla bean. Heat is in check, feels a bit more viscous with time.

    Finish: Long finish, packed with pralines, toffee, brown sugar and pepper. Faint tobacco pairs nicely.

    Overall: Overall, this is a fairly competent bourbon for the age, and it sits nicely in the set as a foundational entry to highlight how finishes can change a base whiskey. It’s not exceptional, but it’s got plenty going for it, and you could do far far worse.
