Reveries 8 "Kind of a Big Deal" - Pagoda Bourbon Society Pick

KIND OF A BIG DEAL The Reveries Kentucky Straight Bourbon Picked by: Pagoda Bourbon Society Age: 8 Years Proof: 126.6 Mashbill: 60% corn, 36% rye, and 4% malted barley Nose: Absolutely incredible!! An unmistakable dessert-forward aroma leaps from the glass with waves of rich butterscotch, warm vanilla, and powdered sugar dusting a slice of fresh angel food cake. Beneath the sweetness lies beautifully aged rickhouse oak, adding depth and maturity while inviting you back for another sip before you’ve even taken the first! Palate: The first sip delivers a decadent layer of caramelized brown sugar and creamy butterscotch before evolving into ripe figs and orchard fruit. The oak provides structure without overpowering the sweetness, while the malted barley contributes just enough character to round everything out. Despite its barrel proof, the mouthfeel is remarkable, coating the palate with loads of rich flavor. Finish: The finish refuses to let go. Warm baking spices gradually emerge alongside seasoned leather and deep rickhouse oak before a gentle black pepper spice reminds you of the proof. As the spice fades, lingering notes of toasted brown sugar and sweet oak remain, leaving you ready for another pour.
