Blackwood 8 Year Old Toasted 105 Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 750mL

Blackwood Toasted Bourbon 105 Proof is an 8 year old bourbon distilled by an undisclosed Kentucky producer and finished using Blackwood's signature toasting process. This involves a finish in three new toasted barrels from Kelvin Cooperage: a medium toast (no char) barrel, a char 4 barrel with toasted heads and a char 2 barrel with toasted heads.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: Well-aged bourbon bursts from the nose with a balanced mix of baking spices, rich caramel candy, old cinnamon bark, and subtle saddle leather

Palate: Warming wood spices give way to fallow orchard fruits, soft caramel butteriness, sweet vanilla, and a touch of dry winter spice barks.

Finish: Soft wood spices slowly fade as warm orchard fruit, rich caramel, and soft bourbon vanilla linger on a long finish.

"This 8-year-old Kentucky bourbon was finished in not one but three toasted barrels, giving it a toasted marshmallow-meets-tiramisu vibe that’s impossible to miss ... Blackwood isn’t trying to reinvent the wheel, but it’s doing something fresh. This bourbon is distinctive, flavorful and worth your attention." - The Daily Pour (88 Points)

"It is widely considered an excellent, divine pour for fans of heavily-toasted bourbons (such as Elijah Craig Toasted or Woodford Reserve Double Oaked)." - The Bourbon Bishop

"This is coffee shop vibes ... For us, it's hitting all the right buttons." - It's Bourbon Night
