Castle & Key Small Batch Bourbon

Distillery: Castle & Key Distillery

95 proof

Castle & Key Small Batch Bourbon is crafted at the historic Old Taylor Distillery, revitalized by Castle & Key Distillery. This bourbon is known for its rich history and meticulous production process, which includes aging in charred American oak barrels. The result is a bourbon with a complex flavor profile, balancing sweetness with a hint of spice, reflecting the distillery's commitment to quality and tradition.

Reviews

Early batches of this 4yr craft bourbon get mixed love—some say refreshing and worth $50 for the pretty bottle and story, others find it young/grainy. Skip unless you want to support the historic distillery.

Nose: vanilla, oak, nuts, citrus, grain, toffee. Palate: banana, cinnamon, bread, oak, honey, apple. Finish: spicy, vanilla, oats, short to medium with some green/young notes.

Finally replaced my spreadsheet. My entire collection lives here and it looks incredible.

The AI art styles are insane — my shelf photos look like they belong in a magazine.

Tracks everything I care about, nothing I don't. Switched from another app and never looked back.
