291 Colorado Whiskey Single Barrel (Westport Wine & Whiskey Store Pick)
NAS
Bourbon
291 Colorado Whiskey
Colorado Springs, CO
Nose
Deep mahogany color. Rich, sweet honey nose with light floral fruit notes. Rye spice evident. Caramel and oak present. Four Roses-like character.
Palate
Bold flavor explosion with sweet entry followed by deeply layered mid-palate development. Syrupy, candy-like quality. Very present and engaging. Possible peach brandy barrel influence. High proof smoothness.
Finish
Medium to long finish that builds gradually over several seconds. Gums sting slightly as finish develops. Drying oak note with hints of leather and rye-forward anise. Spice carries to the back end.
Very good
A dramatically improved expression from 291 with bold, layered flavors and a building finish that showcases the distillery's mastery of cask finishing.
