David Nicholson 1843 Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

David Nicholson 1843 Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Description: David Nicholson, a St Louis, Missouri grocery store owner during the 1840's, created what became known as the "43" bourbon recipe. This wheated mashbill was passed down unaltered for generations according to the Luxco's website. Over the years, Luxco has quietly (and not so quietly) been refreshing many of their brands. David Nicholson 1843 was a regional product often showing up on store shelves around St Louis until Luxco started expanding the reach of the brand. NOSE Aromas of caramel, toffee, gingerbread, and pecan are straightforward and to the point. This makes for a pleasant and easy to parse nose. There isn't a lot of depth, but its aromas blend well and have a welcomed potency. palate Noticeably thin at first sip, its oak and nutty notes are hard to ignore and do a lot to make up for its thinness. These flavors provide such a strong backbone to the palate that the bourbon's other flavors struggle to create their own attention. These sweeter notes of caramel, vanilla, and butterscotch are helpful in working towards a more balanced flavor profile, but just don't quite pull it off. Despite this lopsidedness, it's still quite enjoyable to sip.
