Old Hammer 10-Year Straight Bourbon
100 proof 10 years (approximately 10 years 8-9 months) Bourbon West Fork Whiskey Indianapolis, IN $84.99 99% corn, 1% malted barley
Nose

Soft, delicate, and sophisticated with sweet oak, caramel, vanilla, dark cherry, plum, and dark stone fruit. Stereotypically bourbon but refined and approachable.

Palate

Buttered fig, sweet umami, brown sugar, soft and creamy with hints of banana cream and sour mash funk. Easy sipper with enough sophistication to be interesting without being challenging. Candy-like sweetness on the finish.

Finish

Sweet candy burn with lingering vanilla and subtle oak, fading slowly and gracefully.

Really good
A sophisticated, approachable 10-year-old that balances mature oak influence with the bright, sweet character of the corn-forward recipe, delivering an easy sipper with unexpected depth and refinement.
