Bourbon and Brew Bourbon Whiskey

Oak & Eden was founded in April 2017 by brothers Joe and Jamie Giildenzopf and Brad Neathery. In May 2018 they launched their first product, and now offer a variety of different whiskeys. Each is finished in a unique way - a five inch long wood spiral, which the company refers to as the “Spire,” is added to each bottle to finish it. For Bourbon & Brew, each spire was soaked in cold brew coffee from the Delagua Farm in Columbia which was created by Oak & Eden in collaboration with West Oak Coffee out of Denton, Texas. Oak & Eden does not always disclose where they source their whiskeys from besides stating on their website that they use a “handful of carefully selected distilleries in America” and then go on to say “namely MGP." The bourbon used as the base for Bourbon & Brew was sourced from MGP.

Bourbon and Brew Bourbon Whiskey Tasting Notes

Nose: The nose is noticeably astringent, with an almost tannic undertone that seems to permeate what are otherwise nice aromas. Faint yet inviting scents of port wine, chocolate, and roasting coffee beans try to fight their way through. While the possibility of greatness seems within reach, the overpowering astringency doesn’t allow the nose to reach its potential.

Palate: While the nose offers a mixed experience, this finished whiskey immediately shines as soon as you take a sip. Cocoa, caramel chews, graham cracker, tobacco, and port wine mingle together, with a noticeable nuttiness rounding things out. It’s akin to a very high proof caramel porter in its delivery, offering a fullness of flavor that’s surprisingly delicious, especially at only 90 proof.

Finish: Caramel porter notes taper out, with brown sugar sweetness and echoes of savory tobacco lingering. There is a noticeable lack of spice throughout the sip, and the finish proves to be more in line with the rich palate than the nose. Overall a very interesting and dynamic sip.
