Guess what? This is the last time I’ll mention my September trip to Kentucky. After tonight, I will have officially reviewed all of the bottles that I brought home.
I do a lot of shopping on that trip each year…
This last bottle is a store pick from one of a short list of liquor stores that I make sure to hit up every time I head to Louisville. I’m not a local, so I’m no expert on if the store is great or not, but Evergreen Liquors always seems to have a fun store pick when I stop by. And honestly, since I can get most brands at home, it is the store picks that I am most interested in these days. Especially if it is from a brand that I hadn’t previously had a store pick from. Like Yellowstone. I’ve had a lot of different expressions from the folks over at Limestone Branch, but this is a new one for me.
Let’s see if it was worth the wait.
Yellowstone Hand-Picked Collection: Cox's Evergreen Liquors
Purchase Info: $65.99 for a 750 mL bottle at Evergreen Liquors, Louisville, KY.
Price per Drink (50 mL): $4.40
Details: 57.5% ABV. Barrel#: 7571573. Barreled: 12/17/16
Nose: Caramel, vanilla, cinnamon candies, and oak.
Mouth: Hot with strong notes of cinnamon candies right off the bat. Notes of caramel, chocolate, and oak follow.
Finish: Warm and long. Notes of caramel, chocolate, cinnamon, and mint linger.
Thoughts: This is a very tasty selection from a store that I think is one of the best at picking them. I've never regretted making the drive to one of the Evergreen locations when I visit Louisville. I'm loving the cinnamon/caramel/chocolate combination on this one. Delicious.
