Distilled at the storied DSP-KY-240, this 100-proof bourbon delivers a classic profile of robust oak, sweet caramel, and complex spice, a testament to a bygone era of whiskey craftsmanship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \n        \u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Initial waves of rich caramel and toasted oak, quickly followed by hints of dried dark fruit like cherry and fig. A touch of vanilla bean and a slightly earthy, musty undertone, characteristic of well-aged Beam-style bourbons, emerge. Subtle baking spices, particularly cinnamon and nutmeg, linger alongside a faint nutty aroma.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e A viscous, full-bodied entry immediately coats the mouth with flavors mirroring the nose. Sweet caramel and butterscotch notes lead, supported by a robust oak presence that is firm but not overpowering, indicative of its Bottled-in-Bond proof. Dark chocolate and espresso notes develop mid-palate, intertwined with a spicy burst of black pepper and ginger. There's a delightful interplay between sweetness and savory oak, with a backbone of classic bourbon corn sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long, warm, and satisfying. The oak asserts itself more definitively but remains balanced, offering lingering notes of leather and tobacco. Sweet vanilla and caramel persist, beautifully complemented by a gentle, peppery spice that fades slowly, leaving a pleasant warmth and a faint echo of roasted nuts and dark fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \n      \n        \u003ch3\u003eAbout the Distillery\u003c\/h3\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003eGlenmore Distilleries Co., a historic name in American whiskey, operated at DSP-KY-240, which was famously the Old Grand-Dad distillery (later Jim Beam's Boston, KY plant). This Bottled-in-Bond expression from 1994, though distilled at DSP-KY-240, was bottled at DSP-KY-4, reflecting the complex landscape of consolidation and production shifts within the Kentucky whiskey industry during that era. While the 'Kentucky Tavern' brand has a long history, its production often shifted between various distilleries.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Glenmore Distilleries Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53013760278835,"sku":"1994 KYT 0215","price":525.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0807\/1187\/6915\/files\/Kentucky_Tavern_BIB_1994__Glenmore.jpg?v=1770233215","url":"https:\/\/subrosaselections.com\/products\/kentucky-tavern-bib-1994-glenmore","provider":"Sub Rosa Selections","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
