Sampled a glass last night; the initial burn faded quickly, revealing a good amount of smoke and caramel flavor. There was a subtle floral note on the back end, and the finish was clean. With each subsequent sip, more fruit and gentle sweetness emerged, making it pleasant and leaving me wanting more. This is certainly one to consider purchasing.

About this bottle
The Steward's Solera Bourbon utilizes solera aging, a Spanish sherry technique involving aging spirits in progressively older casks and replenishing them with younger spirits. This process ensures a consistent blend. This particular bourbon is composed of whiskeys from three distinct mash bills sourced from Kentucky, Tennessee, and Indiana, with various aging years (2001, 2001, 2004, 2006, 2007). Additionally, it includes three different mash bills from Colorado's Woody Creek Distillers, made with locally sourced grain. Ultimately, eight different whiskeys of varying ages are combined before bottling.

It's acceptable. Nothing extraordinary. A decent level of warmth, but it does possess some fruity notes. I was particularly interested in trying it due to its inclusion of Woody Creek bourbon. The Woody Creek rye is exceptional.
Tastes of baked apple pie and Red Delicious apples. Hints of warm, flaky pastry, baking spices, and a touch of charred (caramelized) wood. Exceeded my expectations!
Mentions Woody Creek distillery in Colorado, noted for their excellent straight rye (The Week).
Very interesting. Not my favorite, but something new to experience.
Young. Damp cardboard.
