Hartfield & Co. American Bourbon Whiskey

Hartfield bourbon (formerly known as the Gentleman, a name dropped as the result of a trademark dispute) is made with a high-malt mash bill of 62% corn, 19% rye, 19% malted barley. Whereas malt is typically used in American whiskey for the sole purpose of introducing the enzymes needed to convert grain starch to sugar, which is then fermented, Hartfield has brought the malt up to make it a fully fledged flavoring element in their whiskey. They then distill to 115-120 proof as opposed to the legal maximum (and more usual) 160 proof, so as to keep more of the oils and other compounds in their distillate. What comes out of the still then goes straight into the barrel, so the entry proof is 115-120 as well.

Hartfield & Co. American Bourbon Whiskey Tasting Notes

Nose: Pleasent aroma.

Palate: The flavor is where things turn around and defy expectations. Predominately vanilla and cookie spice sweet, the bourbon has a tasty current like toasted popcorn, cooked just a hair too much, that gives the whiskey a trace of a smoky element that isn’t anything like barrel char.

Finish: Long Finish.
