TASTING NOTES

  • Overall:  salted caramel, warm cherry pie filling, cellar oak, blood orange, Rain-Blo bubble gum; medicinal cherry, brown sugar glaze, syrupy charred oak, candy apple, faint leather; medium-long finish w/ barrel-aged cherry sours, molasses, vanilla bean, savory grape soda, spiced jam 
  • Impression:  “Long Way Home” is a barrel for cherry lovers. Its name, as well as “Delta Blues,” stems from my travel woes due to the federal government shutdown last fall. Instead of flying back home, I hitched a ride with Bryant (thanks again, sir). But I digress … Let’s talk cherry. Nose = cherry. Taste = more cherry. Finish = even more cherry. Naturally, this whiskey showcases plenty of notes besides cherry. It’s more of a strong accent than a foundation, though it gives this barrel a unique identity so it’s worth noting. Caramel, brown sugar, vanilla, and oak all play their part in the symphonic union, though cherry is without question the star of the show. 

     

  • Whether or not this barrel is for you depends solely on your sipping preferences. If you’re a fan of dark fruit, I think you’ll be more than satisfied with this one. If, however, you prefer more traditional bourbon notes and/or a stronger volume of barrel spice, the other CND picks are safer bets (not to mention one or two of the CNEs). That’s the best thing about multi-barrel drops - there’s something for everyone
