Bourbon Heritage Month Day 6 Review
Henry McKenna 10 Year Bottled In Bond blew up after winning best in show at San Francisco World Spirits Competition in 2019. This once was a pedestrian bottle that Scott would tell you sat on shelves for $24.99. Now, this bottle is hard to find and like Forrest Gump once said, “life is like a single barrel, you never know what you are going to get.” (Or something like that.) So let’s dive into this Henry McKenna 10 Year Old Bottled In Bond Single Barrel that was barreled on 2/26/ 2009!

Jake’s Tasting Notes: Henry McKenna 10 Year Old Bottled In Bond Single Barrel

Bourbon Lens Closing Thoughts:
While I may not have gotten a bottle of the elusive barrel from SFWSC, I do have a great single barrel of Henry McKenna 10 Year Bottled In Bond. Now, the price point is what might get you so if you can find a reasonably priced bottle pick it up, but, as with every single barrel, you never know what you are going to get!
