The Whisky Agency Tennessee Bourbon 2003

This item is archived.

This 13 year old Tennessee Bourbon was distilled in 2003 and bottled in 2017 at 52.6% ABV.

Evan's Tasting Note:

Nose: Buttery, creamy, wood spice and vanilla. Graham Cracker, cherry wood, orange peel, tangerenes, salted caramel, butter ripple ice cream, cedar planks and angel food cake.

Palate: Buttery and round. Peach pit, marmalade, Mackintosh Toffees, slightly bitter wood tones, butter cream icing, vanilla and hints of cherry syrup. 

Finish: Great length with hints of bitter mingling with the sweetness of it all. There is some tannin but it all stays quite buttery and juicy as a whole.

Comments: Wow. This is an awesome single barrel bourbon. Incredibly well-rounded. It has that hard to achieve balance of complexity and approachability that other bottles strive for.

88pts Whisky Base: "Nose: much more caramel aromas now, with waxed furniture. The polished aspect of oak, rather than the spicy, plankish notes. Very round. Sweet corn. Coconut cream, hints of Mexican chocolate. The most liqueur-like of the three. Almonds and pecans, almost sherried in a way. Mouth: very much on the coconut flakes again. Hints of pomegranates, then the eucalyptus and herbal tea. Cloves. Somehow smoother than you'd expect from a 13 years old bourbon. Finish: long, on polished oak, char and spices."
