New Bottles of Bourbon in March!

Bourbon on Front is proud to partner with Lincoln Road Package store to bring you nothing but the best bottle of Bourbon.

With that being said, we'd like to tell you about three new bottles we recently got in, one of them being the Bourbon of the Month for March.

The first bottle is Angel's Envy Rye finished in Caribbean Rum Casks. Directly from their site: "Angel's Envy Rye Whiskey Finished in Caribbean Rum Casks spends up to 18 months finishing in authentic Caribbean Rum Casks. The mingling of raw, spicy and earthy rye with the mellow sweetness from the rum finish creates an incomparably smooth and drinkable whiskey. Whether enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or in a cocktail, this rye has a complex and unique profile that makes every sip memorable."

TASTING NOTES

The mingling of raw, spicy and earthy rye with the mellow sweetness of rum finishing creates an incomparably smooth and drinkable whiskey.

NOSE: Aromas of citrus, caramel candy, maple sugar, vanilla, oak, hazelnut, spice and sherry wood

PALATE: Sweet rum, sherry wood, and soft oak

FINISH: Both sweet and dry, as well as quick and easy

The second bottle is Booker's Bourbon - Storyteller Batch. Directly from their site: "The fourth release of the Booker's® Bourbon 2023 Collection is Booker's Batch 2023-04 "Storyteller Batch." This batch is named after the way my dad, Booker Noe, could turn just about anything he talked about into an interesting story. 

Booker's "Storyteller Batch" is made up of barrels from four production dates that were aged in four different warehouses. The breakdown of barrel storage for this batch is as follows:

26% came from the 6th floor of 7-story warehouse Z

14% came from the 6th floor of 9-story warehouse H

25% came from the 5th floor of 9-story warehouse G

35% came from the 5th floor of 7-story warehouse 3

The color of "Storyteller Batch" is a rich amber with a golden shine. Sitting in your glass, the scent of a great bourbon fills the room and invites you to further explore the brown sugar aroma. The taste is delightful and well-balanced, with notes of vanilla and wood. I tasted this batch on a drizzly September day. There was a slight chill in the air and it reminded me that fall is just around the corner, and this bourbon has the perfect warm finish for the days to come. A little bit of water further opened the tasting experience for me, but you can enjoy it any way you please. Storyteller Batch is just the way Dad would have wanted it when he created this brand over thirty years ago - I can almost hear him telling one of his great stories while he sips a glass of his own. I hope you enjoy this batch as much as I do!"

Tasting Notes

Our third and March Bourbon of the Month is Elijah Craig Small Batch. Directly from their site: "The award-winning Bourbon that started it all.

Handcrafted by our Master Distillers, it's a favorite of Bourbon connoisseurs and casual whiskey fans alike."
