Blue Note Juke Joint is one of our highest recommended products for folks who are looking for a great value, high proof bourbon. We truly think that a great bottle of Blue Note can give higher proof Buffalo Trace products a run for their money. We've been fortunate to have a history of some great single barrels and private blends, but it is hard to keep them around! We've bumped this next round to a four barrel blend, and we've also brought in three brand new single barrels.\xa0

Sweet maple, coconut cream, salted caramel, woodsy oak, fresh raspberries, and perfumed spices on the nose.\xa0

The palate is complex and layered, drinking beautiful for the proof. Chewy brown sugar, strawberry, sweet milk chocolate, dried red fruits, tons of leather and long, well charred oak.

The finish is slow to leave, laying heavy on the tongue with dense caramels, vanilla, and oak notes. One of my favorite Juke Joint's in quite some time.\xa0

#19755 - 'I Want Candy' - 117.9 proof
Heavy toffee, brown butter, sugary citrus oils and a soft, earthy oak on the nose.
The palate is baked fruit pie - big, chewy cherry notes and caramel dipped apples with spiced pie crust, a plethora of lingering brown sugar and soft oak.
The finish is candied and sweet like old fashioned hard candies with orange oils and complimenting spices and toffee.\xa0
#18963 - 'Rock You Like a Hurricane' - 123.9 proof
The nose is a tropical fruit cocktail with rich vanilla, new leather, sugary spices and a pinch of fresh oak.
The palate is rich and coating, giving lots of vanilla and a myriad of red fruits and dried fruits before chocolatey oak and a nice Memphis hug. Amped up spices here, but still has sweetness surrounding.
The finish is creamy and spiced with cinnamon, pepper, dried cherry, date, and raisin with leather.\xa0
#18868 -\xa0 'Easy Like Sunday Morning' - 117.5 proof
Sweet buttercream, caramel, sugary red fruits and a kiss of graham cracker, milk chocolate and peanut butter fudge on the nose.
A balanced start with butterscotch, oak spice, light leather, toffee and soft red fruits. Creamy, a touch herbal, but again very balanced.
The finish lingers dry with toasted vanilla, cooked red fruits, and oaky caramel.\xa0
