Distillery: Bower Hill Distillery
In 1794 a group of approximately 600 Mingo Creek militiamen surrounded Federal Tax Inspector John Neville’s fortified home, rebelling against the Excise Whiskey Tax of 1791. The farmers and militiamen taking part in this “Whiskey Rebellion” were fighting for the very same principles which fueled the American Revolution, and during the attack on Neville’s home — Bower Hill — two rebel leaders were killed, including Revolutionary War Major James McFarlane. Upon completion of the two-day battle, Neville’s home was razed by fire, and now, Bower Hill and the Whiskey Rebellion are commemorated with a new rebellious spirit, Bower Hill Single Barrel Bourbon.
Bower Hill Barrel Strength Kentucky Straight Bourbon Tasting Notes
Nose: This is also pretty potent. Butterscotch, but high-alcohol. Like vanilla, but vanilla extract, not the smell of vanilla.
Palate: On the palate, there are more spicy oak tannins complemented by lush fruits and wheat toast, leading to a long.
Finish: Smooth finish of caramel and popcorn.
