Saint Cloud 12 Year Old Single Barrel Cask Strength Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Tasting Notes
Nose: There is a fair amount of ethanol emanating from the glass but this calms quite quickly despite the high proof. You are then greeted by dark brown sugar, chocolate covered cherries, plenty of baking spice, and heavy oak char. Overall the nose is quite rich and pleasant.
Palate: This whiskey didn’t have the viscosity I was hoping for, as the initial presentation is average. More of that dark brown sugar is present, but a relatively sharp spice quickly takes over mid-palate. Although there is plenty of spice that develops, there is also an underlying sweetness that provides a nice balance to the profile. Surprisingly, there is very little alcohol burn for a 120+ proof whiskey.
Finish: The finish is medium-long leaving an average mouthfeel. The rye spice continues mid-palate and is accentuated by some burn from the proof. There is plenty of burnt caramel, oak char, some dried citrus, and the slightest hint of red grape on the back end.
