World Whiskey Society 12 Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon Finished in Oloroso Sherry Casks
Nose
The nose of this bourbon has an array of complex scents, including red berries, cherry tarts, brownie batter, aged leather, oak, rye bread, white peppercorn, and hints of vanilla bean that come together to create a nicely balanced aroma.
Palate
The palate of this bourbon is a burst of juicy red berries with dried cherries, charred oak, a peppercorn spice mix, light rye grain, and tobacco leaf to create an earthy experience.
Finish
The finish is a combination of dried oak and leather with faint notes of berries and cream, a light rye spice, and a dry finish.
Overall
With its eye-catching bottle design and oloroso sherry cask finishing, this World Whiskey Society bourbon is unique and sought-after by sherry fans. The bourbon is nicely balanced, with a combination of sweet and dry notes that create a pleasing flavor profile. The finish doesn’t quite rise to the same level as the nose and palate, but overall it is an enjoyable whiskey that stands out in the crowd
