One of the shortest RCLR Bourbon batches we have done, 25B7 delivers where it needs to and that is on taste. Aged 6 to 9 years, this blend of Kentucky and Indiana straight bourbons are all very well married together to create flavors, nuances, and a finish that none of the barrels alone could do. We stopped because it felt right and sometimes that is the best decision. Utilizing a small amount of wheat bourbon with some Kentucky and Indiana high rye bourbons, 25B7 touches all parts of the flavor wheel to be as enjoyable as possible.

Description
Nose: On the nose, you’re treated with a slight whiff of waffle batter and caramel sauce, before leading into a healthy amount of oak, almond butter, black tea, and freshly ground black pepper. The nose showcases a lot of depth that is also carried on the palate, but given the proof point, it’s very soft and easy to sniff on for hours.
Taste: First initial sip – deep fried vanilla ice cream and ground cinnamon sticks. The bourbon itself is dense with the viscosity of maple syrup or honey. Speaking of maple, lots of maple, toasted almond, butterscotch, and spiced vanilla on the palate, which then grows into rich rye grain spices like pepper, cinnamon, and a touch of red licorice. The subtle fruit notes add to the breakfast quality while also creating a layer of depth like that of a spiced fruit cake. Lastly, before heading towards the finish, you will find more waffle batter, nutmeg, cardamom, and zesty lemon tea.
Finish: With a long, complex finish, you experience nuances of vanilla, oak tannins, leather, and black pepper throughout. The ground of the finish is built with a nice sweet, sugary layer of vanilla and butterscotch, which transitions into more oak, rye bread and almond butter. While not being too spicy, the spice is contained due to the small amount of wheat bourbon which adds complexity and that nice baked good sweetness. Earthen notes of black tea, spiced caramel, and a hint of mocha round out the finish for a wild ride that keeps you wanting to come back for more.
