The Johnny Drum Private Stock 50.5% 750ml is a handmade whiskey bottle, crafted in the heart of Bluegrass, Kentucky's famous Bourbon country by Kentucky Bourbon Distillers. This whiskey is made with only the finest natural ingredients and aged to the peak of maturity, resulting in a unique bouquet, character, and taste. The method of production has remained unchanged through five generations of the same family of master distillers. Johnny Drum is produced in limited quantities to ensure the highest quality possible in the old family tradition. It contains a classic nose of malty grains and campfire smoke, combined with pine scents. On the palate, it offers pure candied pecans and orange zest with a spicy pepper and cedar finish. The whiskey is charcoal filtered and bottled from private stock, making it the proudest achievement in the art of bourbon making. Named after one of the country's earliest heroes, Johnny Drum comes in hot at 101-proof, with a nose that teases sour apple pie. The palate rolls over fruit, vanilla, sweet caramel, and spice in layers that saturate the senses with notable intensity. A touch of smoky brown sugar lingers on the elegant finish. This is a solid value for some small-batch intensity, offering your tongue a nice lashing before inviting you back for another sip. Notes for a 750ml bottle with wax seal bought around 2012 describe it as a different and complex Bourbon. A little water is recommended to take the edge off and really open it up. It is recommended for the advanced Bourbon drinker looking for something a bit off mainstream. The nose features prickly pear, bay leaf, pimento, black olives, gourmet paprika, dried cranberries, rhubarb-gooseberry lemonade, mint, and amarena cherry. Over time, heather honey develops. Without the addition of water, there can occasionally be a hint of cardboard. The nose is juicy, fruity, and herbal, balancing both red and green notes. The taste includes a big sweet and sour arrival, with luscious prickly pear juice, red currant candy, a little juniper, cough sweets, herb lemonade (Almdudler), rosewater, elderflower, cherry candy, mint, fruity curry with a salty edge. It is bold, deep, and well-balanced, but not heavy or oily. The finish is medium length with coconut grates, black olives, herb lemonade, rosewater, eucalyptus, some thyme, and candy sugar. For a Bourbon, this tends more towards 'dry' than 'sweet'.
The ABV (Alcohol by Volume) is 50.5%.
