A truly distinguished and impeccably balanced pour for the discerning bourbon enthusiast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \n        \u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e A sophisticated and inviting bouquet, opening with classic aged bourbon notes of rich caramel and toasted vanilla bean. Nuances of dried apricot, fig, and a subtle hint of tobacco leaf emerge, intertwined with a delicate rye spice and a whisper of charred oak. The charcoal filtering seems to have polished the aromas, presenting them with exceptional clarity and a soft, inviting sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e The palate is remarkably smooth and approachable, a testament to its age and the charcoal filtration. Initial notes of sweet toffee and butterscotch lead to a complex interplay of dark fruit – black cherry and plum – accented by baking spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. A gentle, nutty character, reminiscent of roasted almonds, develops mid-palate. Despite the 86 proof, there’s a surprising depth of flavor, delivered with a velvety texture that glides across the tongue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e A long, elegant, and exceptionally clean finish. The sweetness lingers gracefully, evolving into a pleasant warmth with delicate echoes of dark chocolate, leather, and a very light, almost ethereal smokiness from the oak. The charcoal filtration ensures a remarkably clean exit, leaving the palate refreshed and eager for the next sip, with no harshness or bitter notes whatsoever.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \n      \n        \u003ch3\u003eAbout the Distillery\u003c\/h3\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003eThe Anderson Club Distilling Company, while not as widely recognized as some of Kentucky's larger houses, embodies a dedication to traditional sour mash distillation. With a history rooted in classic American whiskey production, they often focused on producing well-aged, quality expressions, particularly notable for releases from the mid-to-late 20th century. Their commitment to processes like sour mashing and, in this case, charcoal filtering, speaks to a pursuit of refinement and consistency in their bourbon offerings.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Anderson Club Distilling Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53026740306227,"sku":"1996 AC 15yr 0089","price":375.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0807\/1187\/6915\/files\/Anderson_Club_15_year_1996__pre_fire.jpg?v=1770312591","url":"https:\/\/subrosaselections.com\/products\/anderson-club-15-year-1996-pre-fire","provider":"Sub Rosa Selections","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
