King Kamehameha Hawaii Bourbon Whiskey 2000
Hailing from the heart of bourbon country, King Kamehameha Hawaii Bourbon Whiskey 2000 embodies a truly unique chapter in American whiskey. This 6-year-old expression, bottled at a harmonious 86 proof, delivers a rich tapestry of classic bourbon notes with an undeniable smoothness. It's a taste of history, a relic from the turn of the millennium, crafted with a 'Same Famous Formula' that has stood the test of time.
Tasting Notes
Nose: A captivating and surprisingly vibrant nose, considering its age and proof. Initial impressions feature sweet corn and vanilla bean, swiftly followed by hints of dried apricot, light butterscotch, and a whisper of toasted oak. There's a subtle underlying florality, almost like honeysuckle, with a delicate suggestion of baking spice – perhaps a touch of nutmeg or allspice.
Palate: The palate immediately delivers a pleasing warmth. Sweetness is prominent but well-balanced, presenting flavors of rich caramel, a creamy mouthfeel, and candied orange peel. The 86 proof allows for a relatively easy-drinking experience, yet there's enough structure to carry notes of toasted almond, dark cherry, and a gentle rye spice that develops mid-palate. The 'old style' character hints at classic bourbon without being overpowering or overly tannic.
Finish: A medium-length, satisfying finish that lingers with notes of sweet oak and a return of vanilla and caramel. A gentle warmth slowly fades, leaving a pleasant echo of dried fruit and a faint, sweet spice. It's clean and doesn't overstay its welcome, inviting another sip.
