Cream of Kentucky 12.3 Year Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey (75cl)

This is a single barrel Kentucky straight bourbon from Cream of Kentucky, aged for 12.3 years, meaning twelve years and three months, and bottled in a 750ml bottle. The label shows it was personally curated by Jim Rutledge and bottled by J.W. Rutledge of Fleetwood, Kentucky. The barrel number is handwritten as 6. It comes from the brand's regular single barrel programme, so each barrel varies slightly from the next. The nose brings caramel, vanilla bean, toasted oak and baking spice. The palate has toffee, mature oak, corn sweetness and soft spice. The finish is medium to long, with lingering oak warmth and gentle sweetness.
