140 Year Old Bourbon

Editors Note: Our friend Forrest Cokely, a trusted source on the world of Spirits, has written another piece for our website. Previously he wrote an article called Scotch 101 (https://gentlemensavenue.com/scotch/) that educates the novice and expert alike. So on this cold winter day, may you find warmth with a nice glass of Cyrus Noble Bourbon that wont break the bank and has a historic presence in the market place.     Mr. M

Cyrus Noble is born in Kentucky, aged there initially after being distilled in small batches from the traditional mash bill / recipe that dates back over 140 years. After it has fully become Bourbon, Cyrus Noble is sent to San Francisco to finish the aging and it rests until it is matured to perfection to proudly carry the historic family name.

The aromas of this whiskey begin at toffee, apricots stewed with brown sugar, shaved baking chocolate, vanilla, roasted nuts, spice and a myriad of lavish oak minutiae. The scents begin to reveal the key to this whiskey—equilibrium; the moment you start to focus Cyrus-Noble-Bottleon one smell, you are attracted to another.

The flavor starts by demonstrating the aromas building to include candied ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg while never challenging the fruit notes and creamy vanilla sweetness. The finish is a simple, pleasant reminder of the supple spice, treacle, vanilla and creamy caramel that drifts, leaving you with a distinct desire to have another taste. Cyrus Noble is soft, excellently drinkable whiskey; it is smooth and easy from the first sniff to the last sip and everywhere in between!

When George Dewey was notified of his promotion to Admiral of the United States Navy- the first and only in the history of the United States to hold that rank- he grabbed two glasses and a bottle of Cyrus Noble to toast his achievement. It seems to be a gentlemanly thing to do.

Try this neat, with a splash of water, on ice or in a classic spirit forward cocktail.
