Description
The first sip of Duke Founders Grand Cru 110 Proof is a revelation. The initial wave of flavor is a delightful interplay between tradition and innovation. The familiar richness of vanilla and caramel, hallmarks of classic bourbon, take center stage, coating the tongue with a luxurious sweetness. But then, the French oak influence unfolds, adding a layer of unexpected complexity.
Hints of dried fruit, like raisin or fig, intermingle with the bourbon notes, offering a touch of sweetness and a subtle tartness. A whisper of honey might also emerge, adding a touch of floral elegance. The 110 proof elevates the experience, delivering a more robust and intense expression compared to lower-proof bourbons. Despite the higher alcohol content, the finish remains smooth and lingering. The warmth of the bourbon slowly fades, leaving behind a trail of fruit, spice, and a hint of oaky dryness from the wine cask influence.
