Old Crow Bonded
Hunter Proof
Bonded Bourbon
Old Crow
Nose
Big, bright nose with green apple notes; some dusty character typical of older bottles with leathery notes and a fuel-like quality reminiscent of gasoline from a pump.
Palate
Spiky and tingly on the front with an interesting quality that's hard to define, then opens up to richer caramel flavors with good weight and body that doesn't thin out.
Finish
A fireworks show on the back with spiky, tingly sensations on the back of the tongue and sides; maintains weight and presence without fading.
Overall Score
4.5 / 5
A remarkable 1940s bottling from Todd's dusty collection that showcases excellent preservation and complexity, impressing all three tasters with its vibrant character and lingering finish.
