Casino Azul The Gold Ring Tequila Reposado

Part of The Gold Ring collection by Casino Azul. 100% Agave Tequila Anejo made in Mexico.

This bourbon was aged for six years in new white oak barrels before spending another two years extracting the subtle, yet sweet flavors from used port wine barrels. The rich vanilla characters of American oak mingle with the delicate fruit notes from port to create this magnificent whiskey.

1792 Port Finish Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Tasting Notes

Nose:?Aromas of caramel apples, vanilla and intense chocolate to the bourbon.

Palate:?Notes of strawberry jam, raisins, gingerbread and cinnamon toast.

Finish:?Long and complex, accented by hints of sweet licorice and cherry pie.

100% Blue Agave tequila triple distilled and infused with fresh coconut water. Aromas of classic tequila with hints of toasted coconut. Smooth and silky texture with a nice balance of coconut flavor. Perfect chilled or mixed with fruit juices.

A distinct batch of barrels were hand-selected especially for this commemorative release. These barrels aged for 10 years at Barton 1792 Distillery before being bottled at specifically 92.15 proof. This special proof is a nod to the year 1792 and to Kentucky being the 15th state to join the Union. The dark blue neckband on the bottle and back label are a salute to the official state seal. This is the sixth limited edition release of 1792 Bourbon expressions, the 225th Anniversary Bourbon joins previous releases of High Rye, Sweet Wheat, Port Finish, Single Barrel, and Full Proof Bourbons.

1792 225th Anniversary Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Tasting Notes

Nose:?Caramel, fruit, and vanilla cream greet you out of the glass. The fruit is reminiscent of cherry or strawberry. There's also a nice angel food cake note underneath.

Palate:?First thing I get is a little caramel, brown sugar, and oak, followed by a warm, juicy red fruit similar to what I found in the 1792 Sweet Wheat but more pronounced. There is a nice burn on the tail end that carries the notes of fruit and cream into the finish.

Finish:?Sweet, fruity, and oaky with a bit of caramel. The finish is medium in length and the whiskey leaves a nice ?full? feeling coating the mouth. There is a little vanilla and a nice spice to finish it off.
