The Story
Belle Meade Bourbon Madeira Cask Finish, 750mL, is a distinguished expression that exemplifies the art of cask finishing. This bourbon is crafted by selecting a blend of 6- and 9-year-old bourbons, which are then finished in Malmsey Madeira casks imported from Spain. This finishing process imparts sophisticated notes to the bourbon, creating a harmonious balance of flavors. On the nose, it offers enticing aromas of dark wildflower honey, vanilla, ripe persimmon, dried black cherry, caramelized sugar, and baking spices. The palate reveals layers of caramel, dark chocolate, cherry, and mint, all enveloped in a soft, velvety mouthfeel. The finish is lengthy, mimicking the palate with a touch of malt and chocolate. Bottled at 90.4 proof (45.2% ABV), this bourbon is perfect for sipping neat, with a splash of water, or over ice, and stands as a testament to Belle Meade's commitment to quality and innovation.
