291 Colorado Whiskey Single Barrel – Westport Wine & Whiskey Pick
NAS
Bourbon
291 Distillery
Nose
Deep, rich sweetness with honey, molasses, and floral notes. Spice and new oak shine through, with hints of lighter fruits like pear or peach.
Palate
Bold and syrupy with an explosion of flavors—rye spice, leather, butteriness, and oak. The flavors are so numerous they can feel confusing, but they layer beautifully. Thick viscosity with a warm, encompassing body.
Finish
Medium-to-long and building, with rye spice and anise carrying through. Drying slightly at the back with a leathery, oaky quality. Gums sting as heat develops.
Excellent
A flavor-packed, ambitious whiskey finished in Aspen staves that delivers bold sweetness and complexity, nearly matching the session winner in overall quality despite ranking second.
