Scented Prelude: The Nose

Imagine, if you will, a vivid autumnal scene. A gentle breeze whisks the comforting scents of cinnamon apple and vanilla straight into your nose. As the aromatic harmony unfolds, it’s complimented by the sweetness of white sugar and the earthen whispers of corn and fresh grass. It’s like Mother Nature herself brewed a potion – one sniff, and you’re under its spell!

The Heart of the Matter: On the Palate

Let’s savor this elixir. As you take your first sip, the Watershed Distillery Bourbon waltzes in with its partner, the Apple Brandy Barrel Finish. Together they twirl around your taste buds, unveiling layers of charred oak and pure vanilla extract. It’s a deceptively simple dance, yet every step is direct and filled with intent, leaving nothing but admiration for its craft.

A Symphony of Sips: The Finish

Every finesse-filled tipple deserves an encore, and this one bows out with a crescendo of flavors. Notes of chestnuts, plum, and a dominating oak form the bassline, while accents of leather and burnt caramel interweave like a sultry jazz solo. As the final note – the clove – hits, you’re left with the warmth of a well-enjoyed performance.

Hitting the High Notes: Overall Impressions

Now, let’s cut through the chatter. This heroic little drink might just suit those who enjoy the “roar” in a robust whiskey. However, amidst this orchestra of boldness, the Apple Brandy Barrel Finish is the quiet violinist, eager to be heard. For lovers of a harmonic balance, Batch 004 beckons with its new, darker tones of chestnut and clove.

Full-bodied and Forthcoming: Whiskey Tasting Notes

As the Watershed Distillery Bourbon brand matures like a fine cheese – or in this case, a fine whiskey – a certain magic is brewing. The older siblings of this batch carried the apple brandy finish like a delicate scarf, lightly draped. But in Batch 004, our scarf is now a cloak, perhaps too heavy to showcase the intricate lacework of its apple brandy lineage.

An Evolving Legacy: Batch 004 Release
