Legent Yamazaki Cask Finish Blend Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Legent Yamazaki Cask Finish Blend Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Kentucky straight bourbon rarely takes a detour like this one. After eight years in the barrel, portions of this whiskey were finished in Yamazaki Spanish-oak wine and sherry casks, and that second stage pulls the bourbon somewhere richer and darker than the usual caramel-and-corn script.
Vanilla and brown sugar lead, warm and familiar, before berries and raisin push through with a dried-fruit sweetness that lingers well past the swallow. Baking spice threads underneath, and the finish turns drier, with tobacco and a flicker of ginger heat. At 114 proof the texture is thick and coating rather than sharp, so the fruit stays in focus instead of being burned off.
This is a bourbon that earns a place on the everyday shelf while still feeling like an occasion. A large cube in the 750 mL bottle's worth of pours opens the sherry influence considerably; neat, it drinks warm and full.
