For a six-year-old distillery to already be experimenting with finishing casks is pretty impressive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTaconic Distillery Cognac Barrel Finished Bourbon Whiskey Tasting Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNose:\u003c\/b\u003e The nose is very sweet (with just a slight astringency to it), a load of butterscotch, toffee, orange peel, and some light raisin notes that hint further at the Cognac finishing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePalate:\u003c\/b\u003e The palate is aggressive with that butterscotch character, pouring on notes of orange, maple syrup, and caramel sauce.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFinish:\u003c\/b\u003e There’s a simple, classic barrel char note on the back end, which leads you to the finish, though overall this is sweet (with a light raisin reprise), and fairly short.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDistillery Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTaconic Distillery, established in 2013, is a purveyor of fine craft spirits located in the Hudson Valley of New York.
