Tasting Notes and Technical Description:
Visual Appearance:
Hardin's Creek 2-Year Bourbon sports a youthful amber hue that belies its robust flavor profile. The liquid forms medium legs on the glass, suggesting a balanced body and mouthfeel.
Nose (Aroma):
Despite its relative youth, this bourbon presents a complex and inviting nose. Expect a lively bouquet of fresh corn, green apple, and vanilla, underscored by a layer of oak and a hint of spice—perhaps a nod to its American heritage and the new charred oak barrels used in maturation.
Palate (Taste):
Upon the first sip, Hardin's Creek delivers a melody of flavors far beyond its years. A pronounced sweetness of honey and caramel is immediately followed by a wave of orchard fruits—think apple and pear. This fruitiness is then balanced by subtle but unmistakable rye spice and a dash of pepper, culminating in an impressively complex experience.
Finish:
The finish is medium-long, characterized by lingering notes of caramel and a resurgence of the initial fruitiness, finally resolving into a gentle warmth and a touch of oak.
Mouthfeel:
Considering its ABV, the bourbon provides a surprisingly smooth and rounded mouthfeel, with the flavors neatly enveloping the palate without overwhelming it.
Third Base Market & Spirits Perspective:
What Hardin's Creek 2-Year Bourbon lacks in age, it more than compensates for in complexity and character. This whiskey is a shining example of how meticulous distillation and barrel selection can accelerate the maturation process, resulting in a bourbon that performs well above its age class.
Availability:
Due to its limited age statement and unique flavor profile, Hardin's Creek 2-Year Bourbon tends to attract both the bourbon aficionado looking for something new and the novice eager to explore. It is available in limited quantities, so we recommend securing a bottle while supplies last.
