About this bottle

While Taconic (formerly Millbrook) distills spirits on-site, the Dutchess Private Reserve Straight Bourbon is a sourced whiskey. It is blended with local water and bottled at their distillery. Despite being labeled as "straight" whiskey, this bottling does not include an age statement and is presented at 90 proof.

Mckinley Anglin 4.3

The aroma of Taconic’s Dutchess Private Reserve initially presents subtle hints of vanilla and new wood. Agitating the whiskey in the glass reveals an aroma of toasted marshmallows and pie crust. On the palate, the sweet notes soften, becoming creamier and slightly floral – reminiscent of a buttermilk biscuit with a touch of clover honey. Charred citrus emerges on the finish, followed by a warming herbal quality that evoked fresh rosemary for my palate.

Elinor Dubois 5.0

This Bourbon is sure to satisfy you completely. You should keep a bottle in your collection and will want to replace it immediately once it's gone. It's that good.
