Tonight I'm pouring Rowan's Creek Small Batch Bourbon. This
is a sourced whiskey aged and bottled by Willett Distillery and bottled at
100.1°. My batch number is 15-54.
In the glass, Rowan's Creek has a deep golden appearance. A swirl in the glass
leaves a very heavy rim that soon produces fat legs.
The aroma is a husky caramel mixed with a floral bouquet. Behind that is a hint
of honey. Inhaling through my mouth features a stronger honey and light citrus.
The mouth feel is amazingly thick. It coats the tongue, but soon thins out. The
palate is cinnamon, caramel, corn, nuts, cereal and honey. It is a bit complex
and takes several sips to nail down the various flavors.
The finish is not as long as one would hope. There's a very enjoyable flavor
that just disappears too quickly. Dry wood is left behind along with vanilla.
Rowan's Creek is fairly easy to locate and for the $30 and change this sets you
back, it is well worth it. As usual, the folks at Willett are very skilled at
sourcing and aging great whiskey. Cheers!
