Detailed Description
The story behind Tom’s Foolery Bonded Bourbon starts back in 2011 when Tom Herbruck bought the original Michter’s Jug House Pot Stills. These stills carry significance beyond the Michter’s name as they were the first copper pot stills manufactured for whiskey distillation after prohibition. Tom uses these historic pot stills to double distill his open-air, wood cask, fermented mash. He stores that whiskey in full sized barrels in an unheated rack house with the goal of making bourbon in an old style and as naturally as possible.
Tom’s Foolery Ohio Bonded Bourbon Whiskey Tasting Notes
Nose: Grain heavy aroma layered with notes of cherry candy, apples, cinnamon, toffee, vanilla and a biscuity character that gets sprinkled with light notes of acetone, pears, char and saw dust.
Palate: Cinnamon, apples and pears, toasted grains, anise, caramel, vanilla, raw corn and orange peels mix with light notes of clove, acetone, saw dust and that biscuity character. This spice driven concoction flows across the palate rather gently.
Finish: A long spicy finish with tasty twists of caramel, vanilla and a metallic coppery note.
