Sweetens Cove Tennessee Bourbon Whiskey 2021 Release

The 2021 release is the second bottling 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 including Peyton Manning, Andy Roddick and Jim Nantz, bought 100 barrels of 13-year Tennessee bourbon from an undisclosed distillery for the 2020 debut and hired Marianne Eaves, the former Brown-Forman blender and Castle & Key master distiller behind Old Forester 1870, to blend it. For the follow-up she worked from more than twice as many barrels and built a single large batch of Tennessee bourbons aged four, six and sixteen years, bottled at cask strength, 113.7 proof, with no age statement and a roughly $200 price. Drinkhacker rated it an A-, finding a rich, silky nose of butterscotch, peanut brittle, chewy caramel and pralines that opens into buttery pastry and dark cherry pie filling, a warmer palate than the original with candied orange peel, cherries in syrup, grilled peaches and a mix of Red Hots and caramel candies, and a lingering finish where the barrel finally arrives with toasted sugar, dark vanilla bean and cigar wrapper.
