Leiper's Fork Tennessee Whiskey BIB 50% 75cl

Leiper's Fork Tennessee Whiskey Bottled in Bond 50% ABV

Tennessee distillery Leiper’s Fork are back with what they do best – a Tennessee whiskey! This five year old expression is made in the same way as its bourbon bottled in bond counterpart, but with the addition of sugar maple charcoal filtration. It’s made using a mash bill of 70% corn, 15% rye, 15% malted barley with the corn grown on the head distiller’s farm. The whole ethos of Leiper’s Fork is to use low distillation and barrel entry proofs to recreate a pre-Prohibition texture. The result? A wonderfully full-bodied Tennessee whiskey that’s as complex as it is delicious. 

Tasting note:

Nose: Milk chocolate notes arrive first, followed by plum, dark cherry, and a round, rich honey.

Palate: Consistent with the nose, with the addition of red berries, baking spices, and a sticky caramel. 

Finish: The baking spices come through as the whiskey dries out.
