Tasting Notes and Technical Description:
Visual Appearance:
Upon pouring, Calumet 8 Year Bourbon displays an opulent amber hue with golden undertones, a testament to its well-aged character. The viscosity is evident through the formation of slow-moving legs on the glass, indicating a rich, complex body.
Nose (Aroma):
The olfactory experience is an alluring blend of classic bourbon aromatics. Subdued vanilla meets honey, toasted oak, and a touch of caramel, building a highly nuanced nose. Slight undertones of dried fruit and leather complete this complex aromatic profile, inviting the imbiber to explore further.
Palate:
From the first sip, Calumet 8 Year Bourbon is clearly in a class of its own. Sublime notes of caramelized sugar and vanilla open up the palate, followed by the richness of dark chocolate and cinnamon. A dollop of butterscotch and a whisper of toasted almonds further enrich the mouthfeel, making for an incredibly rounded and full-bodied sip.
Finish:
The finish is both long-lasting and memorable, encompassing a warm and slightly spicy crescendo. Lingering notes of oak and brown sugar are punctuated by a mild tobacco smokiness, culminating in a finish that is both balanced and elegant.
