Sam Houston 15 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Sam Houston 15 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Sam Houston makes a Kentucky straight bourbon in the classic mold, and fifteen years in new charred American oak have taken this one deep into the barrel's influence. Toasted sugar leads, sweet but dry at the edges, with dark cherry sitting just behind it. Vanilla cream softens the whole thing without making it sticky.
Underneath, the older wood shows its hand. Leather and seasoned oak give the bourbon its weight, and a thread of tobacco runs through the finish, which is long and dry. Brown sugar keeps everything from turning austere. At 103 proof, the texture stays full and coating rather than hot.
This is the kind of bourbon that suits a Tuesday as easily as an occasion. A large cube opens it up without washing out the oak, though it needs nothing at all if you like the wood forward. It comes in a 750 mL bottle.
