Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, July 18, 2018 - This was the strangest bottle of champagne I have ever had. At first I thought it may have been just flawed but over the evening I had several wine people tell me how interesting it was. It was called the “bourbon” champagne because just smelling the bottle bling you would guess this was a shot of bourbon. Same with initial sniff in a white wine glass.

On the palate the bourbon like wood note was still the most omnipresent taste but some citrus fruit and a touch of mineral with a touch of sweetness adding to the Bourbon flavor.

We theorized that the makers may have purchased a used one year old bourbon barrel to age the wine used in the diosage as there was just no other way we could imagine a wine getting that specific charred American Oakes whiskey aroma and flavor.

While interesting and I did have two pours this wasn’t how I like my champagne or sparkling wine. Just bizarre.
