Description

Intense and expressive, this is the first release of Dave Phinney’s highly anticipated four year-old Bourbon.

Produced by Napa Valley winemaker Dave Phinney of Savage & Cooke. The Burning Chair is their bourbon made from bourbons distilled in Indiana, Kentucky, and Tennessee and were aged a minimum of 4 years in new, charred American oak. The blend of bourbons were then finished in wine barrels from Dave’s Napa Valley Cabernet projects.

The Burning Chair Bourbon Whiskey Tasting Notes

Nose: Aromatically intriguing with brown sugar, caramel, butterscotch and toasty oak.

Palate: The palate is smooth and lush with loads of vanilla bean, baking spices, maple and baked apples.

Finish: The finish is long and exciting, begging for another sip.
