Henry McKenna 10 Year Old Bottled in Bond Straight Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey – K&L Whiskey News

Henry McKenna 10 Year Old Bottled in Bond Straight Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey (750ml) 95 $69.99 View

Outer quote mark The bouquet features smells of new car leather, breakfast cereal, cornmeal, pepper and hemp. Entry is nicely sweet and intensely grainy; the mid-palate is the high point as the taste profile expands to include semisweet flavors of caramel corn, toasted marshmallow, dried fruit and chocolate covered cherry. Concludes oaky sweet and chewy. *Superb, Highly Rated* Inner quote mark (12/2008)

90 points Whisky Advocate

Outer quote mark One of the few remaining age-stated bourbons. Henry McKenna’s color is beautiful. You can hold it up in sunset light and just enjoy the russet and amber hues reflecting. Sweetness, savory, and floral fragrances followed by brown sugar, fresh-baked rye bread, and malt. Caramel and vanilla, with roasted pine nuts and spice, and a slight hint of strawberry lead to a long and savory finish. Balance is the point of this sipper. (FM, Summer 2016) Inner quote mark

K&L Notes

You know it, you love it. It’s ten years old, bottled-in-bond, single cask, 100-proof, old-school Kentucky bourbon from Heaven Hill and an incredible value by any measure.

The ultimate award of the night, Scottish Whisky Distillery of the Year, sponsored by Bruce Stevenson Insurance Brokers, was presented to Isle of Raasay Hebridean Distillers. Their award was presented in recognition of their efforts to create a new destination in Raasay and in their work producing a new and exciting range of Single Malt Scotch.  They also collected the award Tourism Destination of the Year which was sponsored by Dentons.

A Single-Malt Fanatic’s Dream Line-up: Exquisitely Aged Trophies – Scotch Whisky News

A Single-Malt Fanatic’s Dream Line-up: Exquisitely Aged Trophies

A frustrating fact of the Scotch business is that far too much truly special whisky often gets consumed far too soon. And when it does make it to market with what many connoisseurs consider “proper” aging, it is often vanishingly rare and commands eye-watering prices, sometimes in the four-digit sphere. But thanks to our intrepid spirits team, we have the inside line on several supremely aged bottlings that come in at relative steals yet deliver truly singular character that will make them must-haves for any committed collector. With at least 20 years, and as much as 30 years, of age on them, these spectacular bottlings are fully mature, offering kaleidoscopic complexity that will take even the most seasoned professionals by pleasant suprise. An exclusive ex-bourbon cask from Glenallachie “represents some of the finest on the market and stands up with the very highest quality distillery offerings from this period,” while the 30 Year Old Inchgower from Old Particular is “a real super star in a style we rarely see.” Coveted names like Balvenie, Benriach, and Bruichladdich round out an incredible set that should occupy space in any world-class collection.
