Sweetens Cove 22 Tennessee Bourbon Whiskey

Sweetens Cove 22 is the 2022 limited release from Sweetens Cove Spirits, the whiskey brand named for a golf course in Tennessee where every player was handed a complimentary shot of whiskey on the first tee. The course's owners, a group that includes Peyton Manning, Andy Roddick and Jim Nantz, turned that tradition into a bottle in 2020 with a 13-year Tennessee bourbon, and hired Marianne Eaves, the former Brown-Forman blender and Castle & Key master distiller responsible for Old Forester 1870, to blend everything the brand releases. For 22 she blended four Tennessee bourbons aged five, six, eight and ten years from the brand's undisclosed Tennessee source, then finished the blend in Scotch whisky casks from an unnamed Speyside distillery, bottling it at 114 proof, the highest strength the brand had released at the time, with a $200 price tag and allocated distribution. Drinkhacker gave it a B+ and found a light, honeyed nose of peanut brittle, butterscotch and vanilla cream, a palate of creamy caramel, butterscotch pudding and honey-roasted peanuts with brown butter richness, and a finish of dry citrus peel, peppered bacon and baking spice that opens up with a splash of water.
