Who doesn’t want more flavor in their whiskey? The recently released Bib & Tucker Double Char Small Batch Bourbon was inspired by a long time ago in America, when food was cooked on the open flame.
The maker notes that this new bourbon from Bib & Tucker Small Batch is aged twice to create smoky notes and a smooth finish.
The Double Char is first aged six years in the rolling hills of Tennessee in new white American oak, followed by at least five months in a second, heavily charred and smoked new barrel.
Double Char’s tasting notes show that on the nose, there’s a touch of smoke with immediate notes of toasted oak and dulce de leche, and background notes of cinnamon and clove.
On the palate, it features vanilla and sugar maple surrounded with white smoke, hints of sweet corn and toasted cinnamon. It finishes medium to long with oak, white smoke and vanilla.
This bourbon can be enjoyed neat, on the rocks or in whiskey-forward cocktails, like this Date Night Old Fashioned which could be just right for the upcoming Valentine’s Day holiday.
