Old Lewis Hunter 6-Year Bourbon (Export Bottling, est. 1970s)
86 proof 6 years Bourbon Old Lewis Hunter Distillery (Lair, Kentucky) Lair, KY $?
Nose

Dusty nose with classic oxidized character; non-assuming bourbon dusty bouquet.

Palate

Fruity sweetness of cherry and plums with butterscotch drizzle; remarkable vibrancy despite oxidation from decades in bottle.

Finish

Clean, lingering sweetness.

Very good
A beautifully preserved dusty that survived 40+ years in the bottle with cherry, plum, and butterscotch notes intact—a testament to proper storage.
