This 24-year-old Bourbon was featured on Day 18 of our 2023 KWM UBER Whisky Calendar. You can read Evan's post on it here.
Ever had a 24-year-old Bourbon? Well, this is your chance! Crafted by a mystery distillery. Could it be Four Roses? Barton? Buffalo Trace? Who knows?!? Wherever this was made it is heavenly, standing on hills above other Bourbons both in age and, well, price. The Bourbon in question purportedly spent 12 years maturing away in the US of A and the remaining 12 years in Scotchland. Bottled at 48% with a release of 8376 total bottles.
Producer Description: “Our first ever batch from this US distillery is a 24 Year Old Bourbon, a release of 8,376 bottles at 48% abv and our largest release to date! Sadly we’re not able to name this distillery, but it is a Bourbon, and so we’ll have to do some homework to establish which distilleries it could have come from.”
About the Label (Larger Label Under the Tasting Note)
Firstly there are no clues on our label at all, but any similarities to current bottlings are purely coincidental. Our label shows a peaceful scene at Area 51, complete with a sign saying "Nothing to see here", which has to be true. As we’re unable to name this long-aged Bourbon Whiskey we’ve covered our label in a few of America’s well-known mysteries. How many can you spot in our Area 51?
500 mlEvan’s Tasting Note
Nose: Leather, tobacco leaf, polished oak staves, cherry pie, peach cobbler, tangerines, smoky brisket, and chocolate chip cookies fresh from the oven.
Palate: Sour cherries, apple pie with a slightly burnt crust, bitter dark chocolate, caramelized brown sugar, espresso coffee, peanut brittle, and a touch of Amaretto plus hazelnut liqueur.
Finish: Spicy, smoky, and drying, but will juicy cherries and peaches, plus more dark chocolate and espresso notes.
Comment: I have tasted this dram a few times, and it is always a wonderful ride. It shows its age in a great way and there are plenty of intriguing notes to excite the senses.
Producer Tasting Note
Nose: High notes of dried peel and vanilla, flaming Christmas pudding gives way to pear drops and a light dusting of cocoa powder
Palate: Insistent, buttery mouthfeel carrying a lorry load of vanilla, caramel and beurre noisette
Finish: Punchy, warm finish with great balance of the flavours

The labels are typically laced with hidden elements and "Easter Eggs."
TBWC bottles whiskies from around the world, though the bulk of their offerings are of Scottish origin. Most of their offerings are small-batch releases, Blended Malts, and Blends. Their "Head of Whisky" is Canadian Sam Simmons.
We are big fans of not only their whimsical labels but also the consistently high standard of liquid they bottle.
