Straight Bourbon Whiskey, 7 Year Single Barrel #8421

• Single barrel straight bourbon whiskey produced by Nashville Barrel Company under the Nashtucky Whiskey Co. label in Nashville, Tennessee
• Bottled by Nashville Barrel Company
• Barrel #8421
• Distilled from an undisclosed mash bill at an undisclosed Kentucky distillery
• Aged a minimum of  7 years; 4 years in Kentucky followed by 3 years in Tennessee
• On the nose, elegant waves of vanilla and brown sugar are framed by high-toned notes of cigar box and wood smoke, eventually revealing roasted pineapple. The palate is ample, but energetic: chocolate-covered espresso beans, caramel popcorn, and a buttercream roundness are charged with proof heat, which drives a finish that is long and satisfying.
• Non-chill filtered; bottled at a cask strength of 62.86% ABV

True to Nashtucky form, this sumptuous single barrel bourbon redefines what whiskey with a modest age statement can do—especially at this price point. Compellingly elegant from a first nosing, this whiskey weaves together layers of well-defined sensations, all while balancing a punchy proof. Cocktailing with it might be gilding the lily, but never say never.
