The Gold Fashioned is a delightful and sophisticated cocktail that combines the smoothness of Kentucky Straight Bourbons with the boldness of Indiana Straight Rye Whiskey. The 2022 Blend of The Gold Fashioned is carefully crafted using a combination of 15-Year and 9-Year Kentucky Straight Bourbons, along with a 6-Year Indiana Straight Rye Whiskey, resulting in a truly exceptional beverage.
The use of both bourbons and rye whiskey in this blend adds depth and complexity to the cocktail. The 15-Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon brings a wealth of maturity and refinement to the mix. With its long aging process, this bourbon develops rich flavors of caramel, vanilla, and oak, creating a smooth and velvety texture on the palate.
The 9-Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon, on the other hand, adds a slightly younger and more vibrant character to the blend. It contributes with its own unique set of flavors, such as honey, dried fruits, and a touch of spice. This bourbon brings a lively and energetic element to the overall profile of the Gold Fashioned.
To further enhance the flavor profile and bring an extra layer of complexity, a 6-Year Indiana Straight Rye Whiskey is incorporated into the blend. Rye whiskey is known for its spiciness and boldness, and the 6-Year aging process allows it to develop a well-rounded and robust character. The rye whiskey adds a zesty kick to the cocktail, with notes of black pepper, cinnamon, and cloves.
The combination of these three spirits creates a harmonious balance in the Gold Fashioned. The richness and smoothness of the bourbons are complemented by the spice and character of the rye whiskey. The flavors meld together seamlessly, resulting in a cocktail that is both elegant and full of depth.
