W.b. Saffell 107pf Batch-1 375 Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey William Butler
| Description: | History,. This bottle is the namesake of William Butler Saffell, a prominent distiller in Lawrenceburg in the mid-to-late 1800s. Saffell was the lead at the McBrayer Distillery up until 1889 when he founded his own distillery and became famous for his sour mash Kentucky whiskey. Even after his death in 1910, W.b. Saffells whiskey experienced tremendous success. Unfortunately, prohibition followed shortly thereafter, forcing the distillery to halt production and like all of the brands in the Whiskey Baron collection, the W.b. Saffell legacy was eventually lost. W.b. Saffell is a blend of 6, 8, 10, and 12 year bourbons aged in No. 4 (alligator) char barrels. This bourbon is non-chill filtered and bottled at 107 proof (53.5% abv). Tasting Notes,. Nose: the nose is rich and flavorful. Sweet vanilla, dark brown sugar, rye spice, clove, and some dark dried fruit. Palate: this bourbon initially presents with a rich caramel sweetness, but then a complex bouquet of rye and baking spice takes over. Light pepper, cinnamon, allspice, more clove, and some fresh ginger. Finish: this bourbon leaves a buttery mouthfeel with a medium-long finish. Baking and rye spice along with notes of rich maple syrup developing. There was also some fresh mint that made an appearance toward the end. |
