$62.99
The Bond & Lillard Batch 2 is a limited-edition Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, bottled at 100 proof (50% ABV) as part of the "Whiskey Barons Collection" from Campari. This expression was recreated by Wild Turkey Master Distiller Eddie Russell based on tasting notes from vintage bottles and is aged a minimum of seven years.
Production Details and Heritage
- Proof: 100 (50% ABV).
- Age: Aged for a minimum of seven years in new charred oak barrels. Some sources suggest a blend of 4 and 6 year old bourbons were used.
- Distillery: Produced at the Wild Turkey Distillery in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky.
- Process: The final blend is charcoal filtered for smoothness, resulting in a lighter color and more floral notes compared to other Wild Turkey products.
- Availability: Released in a distinctive 375mL bottle size, a nod to pre-Prohibition packaging.
- Concept: The Whiskey Barons Collection revives historic, pre-Prohibition labels, with a portion of sales dedicated to restoring the historic T. P. Ripy home.
Tasting Notes
The charcoal filtration and aging process create a unique profile noted for its elegance and delicate, floral notes.
- Nose: Aromas of vanilla cream, orange zest, and green apple are prominent, along with notes of cinnamon sugar, marmalade, and toasted oak.
- Palate: The palate offers a good balance of flavor with notes of caramel, honey, and charred oak, complemented by baking spices, a touch of white pepper, and a rich layer of oak.
- Finish: The finish is medium-long, with notes of sweet oak, allspice, and a hint of mint or sassafras.
