Dettling 1867 Bottled-in-Bond
The nose is classic and sweet bourbon fare: caramel, vanilla, brown sugar, and citrus with a subtle floral characteristic at the end.
The palate is perfumed uniquely, initially giving sake vibes yet carries familiar raspberry, raisin, and dried cherry notes saturating. Think of this like a perfect oatmeal raisin cookie mixed with a Biscoff cookie. Interesting spices are here as well, but they never overshadow the sweetness. Chai spices, cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, pepper.\xa0

The finish is chocolate covered espresso bean and dried fruits with continued nutmeg, cardamom, peppercorn, leather and pecans.

Dettling 1867 Single Barrel Cask Strength
The nose is beautifully sweet and fruity: lots of caramel, toffee, brown sugar, but also lots of ripe and sugary red fruits as well.

The palate is incredibly juicy, and beautifully creamy. Sweet vanilla, brown sugar syrup, and caramel forward - very desserty. Continuing on is a myriad of red fruits and dried fruits.\xa0

The finish is long, sweet, and clinging. rich sugars, caressing fruits, and lovely balance of toasted oak. This is a beautiful bourbon.
