First Private Barrel Selection from Bourbon Lens is Available Now – Starlight Sauternes-Finished Bourbon

This is one that was worth the wait! Our first-ever single barrel pick is now available through our online retail partner, Shared Pour. This finished bourbon is unique in that it is finished in fresh, imported Sauternes wine casks from Bordeaux, France.

This 4 ½ year old, 112.4 Proof, Sauternes Wine-Finished Indiana Bourbon has developed a rich caramel and a dark honey base with lighter fruits emerging from the glass.  Caramel Apple Suckers is what first comes to mind when nosing this glass, followed by cinnamon buttered toast.  

On the palate, the fruit notes pop on the tip of the tongue, with a medium level of viscosity and a medium finish.  The finish has you reaching for the glass again to see what else you might discover in this wine-finished bourbon. Fortunately, with additional time in the glass, a rich butterscotch note shines even more.  Give yourself time to enjoy this one, it will surprise you as it continues to develop. 
Sauternes is a French, Sweet Wine made from the Bordeaux region’s rare white grapes.
