Review & Tasting Notes
Launched in 2021 Lineage comes with some serious bourbon credentials. It starts off by using 15+ year old whiskies, then boasts a 111 proof.
| Tasting Notes | |
|---|---|
| Color | Dark Mahogany |
| Nose | After resting a bit, it shows off a nutty, fruity character full of peanut shells, sawdust, apple, and antique furniture. Big cherry note underlying that fruitiness. It’s sweet and sticky on the nose |
| Palate | Peanut brittle, deep charred oak, and cherry. Granola, baking spices, warm fudge, and even more cherry. Sweet with waves of wood crashing into the midpalate. This is a dark and brooding whiskey that demands attention. The mouthfeel clings to the tongue |
| Finish | Long finish full of old oak, wood spice, anise, and leather. The oak is so heavy at times that it borders on bitter. A few drops of water smooth out the heavy oak on the finish and makes for an all-around more enjoyable experience |
