Belle Meade Bourbon, from Nelson's Green Brier Distillery in Nashville, TN
Came on this bourbon by chance, as it is not available for sale in Michigan. Was offered a glass a few years ago and really enjoyed it. Have since bought two bottles, on via mail order, and one from a friend in Kentucky.
Nose: Peach, mango, grassy greens, rhubarb, maple, tobacco, evergreen.
Taste: Red Delicious apple, pepper, vanilla, pecan, dried fruit, oak, pine.
Finish: Warm, medium long finish. Raisin, spice, tannins, caramel, touch of clove.
Really love the rounded, cakey, soft, fruit taste. A classic bourbon experience, with a rich, fruit, and meadowy, (grassy) feel.
If you are ever in a state where this is available, you ought to get some.....A craft barreled bourbon for our time. Cheers!
