Henry Mckenna single barrel bourbon whiskey.



This is an affordable, and well made bourbon.  Part of the Heaven Hill Distilleries family.  They are an independent, family owned and operated company.

I first tried this bourbon as part of a flight of bourbons at a local establishment.  I made a note to get a bottle after the first sip!   I found it to be warm, sweet, rich, and developed.  Notes as follows.

Nose:  spongecake, peach, burnt sugar, maple, cedar, touch of clove

Taste:  wood, pine, oak, not as sweet as the nose, pear, pecan,

Finish:  medium, smooth, nice oak, hints of tobacco and leather

A very worthwhile sipper. Would also make a fine Old Fashioned.  I recommend everyone have a bottle of this in their bar.  Sure to please your guests.  Cheers!

  1. Addition note on the finish: Corn tortilla or hominy notes....a roasted corn for sure. Cheers!
