Description
Tunney Reserve Bourbon breaks the mold while honoring tradition. The use of Long Island corn and a copper pot still distillation contribute to a unique flavor profile. Aged for 4 years in new American oak barrels, this bourbon offers a delightful interplay between sweetness, spice, and oak character.
Aroma
Expect an inviting arrival with hints of vanilla bean and toasted coconut from the new American oak. As you delve deeper, the grain character starts to unfold, with a prominent sweetness from the corn. A subtle peppery spice, hinting at the presence of rye, emerges, adding complexity. Depending on the batch, you might also detect dried fruit notes like raisin or prune.
Palate

The corn contributes a foundational sweetness, balanced by a prominent rye spice. Hints of vanilla and caramel emerge from the oak aging, adding richness. As the whiskey opens up, the rye spice continues to be a dominant player, offering a pleasant tingle on the tongue. Dried fruit character like raisin or prune might dance on your palate, adding a layer of complexity. The new American oak character might reveal itself with hints of toasted coconut or baking spices like cinnamon or nutmeg.
Finish
