Sweetens Cove Dunwoody is a 6-year aged wheated Tennessee bourbon bottled at 95 proof (47.5% ABV). Named for the iconic Dunwoody oak tree at the Tennessee golf course, this wheated expression uses wheat in the mash bill instead of rye as the flavoring grain. It's typically priced at $60.
Aged six years, this robust bourbon opens with concentrated caramel on nose and palate, tinged with plenty of clove, and slides into a comforting vanilla custard exhale.

House Review
Nose:
Pleasant on the nose. A sweet aroma mixes caramel, root beer, powdered sugar and sweet corn.
Taste:
Moderate viscosity. It’s not overly viscous but it has a really nice oiliness to it. Enjoyable palate that mixes light oakiness with soft, corn-heavy sweet notes — butterscotch, sweet corn cake, meringue and a pop of bubblegum — and a bright, tangy, fruity side: apple tart, taffy, orange peel, plus a bit of nuttiness — almonds and peanuts
Finish:
The finish is short to medium, opening with oak and root beer, the introduces coconut shavings, meringue and a touch of tobacco.
Overall:
This is really good, easy-drinking bourbon. It’s just viscous enough, totally delicious and has enough going on. I’m impressed. 89
