Mike And Matt Taste Cumberland Falls Bourbon

This post sponsored by the Glencairn Whisky Glass

Cumberland Falls Bourbon is produced by Owensboro Distilling at the Green River Distillery. Owensboro Distilling Company is another name for the gift shop at the Green River Distillery. I saw a bottle of this Bourbon at Westport Whiskey & Wine the other day and picked it up to review. Here are our tasting notes.

Cumberland Falls Bourbon

Proof: 86

Age: Four Years Old

Nose:

Mike: Vanilla, corn, a hint of apples and oak wood.
Matt: Vanilla, corn husk, prunes and oak wood.

Taste:

Mike: Vanilla, apples, nutmeg, tobacco leaf and oak wood. Tasted with a dried cranberry, the vanilla is enhanced and a citrus note comes out. Tasted with a pecan, the apple and citrus notes dominate the flavor.
Matt: Vanilla, cherries and cinnamon spice leads into some oak wood. The dried cranberry enhances the vanilla and cherry. The pecan brings our notes of a chocolate covered cherry and buttered pecans.

Finish:

Mike: Medium long with oak, tobacco and spice. The dried cranberry made the finish longer with some lingering citrus notes. The pecan added a note of chocolate to the finish.
Matt: Long and buttery with a note of cinnamon. The dried cranberry made the finish lighter with a minimum of oak and spice. The pecan made the finish longer with oak, tobacco and peppery spice.

I would pair this Bourbon with a cigar with earthy tobacco notes and vanilla in the smoke. I would reach for a NUB Habano cigar.
