Wyoming Whiskey 10 Year Anniversary Edition Straight Bourbon Review
Reaching an impressive 10 year milestone, Wyoming Whiskey commemorates it by bringing back Steve Nally to create a blend with the oldest whiskey they’ve ever released. This 10 year old bourbon has been hand-selected by Nally and master blender Nancy Fraley and promises to be an old-timey classic with a modern sparkle. Let’s check out how this whiskey fares.
Nose
Warm caramel, vanilla sugar cookie, raspberry, candied orange, and honey mix together creating an inviting and indulgent aroma. The sweetness of bourbon on the nose is unmistakable, providing a great start for sipping.
Palate
A wave of butterscotch, pecan, bundt cake, plum, and light maple flavor come crashing through on the palate. There’s a noticeable lack of sweetness, except for the butterscotch and maple syrup notes, which are in balance with the rest of the flavors.
Finish
The smooth finish features dry oak, dry leather, dried stone fruit, and a lingering blackberry and dry oak aftertaste. This whiskey doesn’t over-promise but instead provides an intriguing and complex finish.
Uniqueness
This 10 year old blend lacks the highs and lows that can make a whiskey more exciting. It’s very even-keeled, and it holds back some of the characteristics of Wyoming Whiskey.
Value
At $200 for a 10 year old bourbon, Wyoming Whiskey 10 Year Anniversary Edition is likely best for diehards of the brand looking to taste a snapshot of what the brand was like in its earliest days.
Overall
Wyoming Whiskey 10 Year Anniversary Edition is a nicely balanced whiskey. It’s dry and inviting, and with a bit of aging, this whiskey could develop into something truly memorable
