MGP – (Midwest Grain Products) 6 Year Old 2015 SMWS Single 1st Fill #4 Char Barrel B7.9 Coco' Nuts Indiana Bourbon Whiskey (2021) (70cl)

This is a 6 year old Indiana bourbon from MGP, distilled in 2015 and bottled by the Scotch Malt Whisky Society as Coco' Nuts, cask code B7.9. It is a single cask release, one of 214 bottles from a first fill #4 char new oak barrel, in a 70cl bottle. The mash bill is 60% corn, 36% rye and 4% malted barley. Coconut is prominent on the nose, alongside cream, chocolate and flowering gorse. The palate has salted chocolate and hazelnut brownies, stem ginger and Moroccan spiced honey, creamy and sweet with a hint of spicy bitterness like a root beer barbecue sauce of sarsaparilla and liquorice root, with vanilla and molasses.
