Charleston Distilling Vesey's Bourbon is produced from a mashbill of 70% corn, 20% wheat and 10% rye, and aged a minimum of 4 years in new American white oak barrels. A 750ml bottle is priced at $48.99.
The palate is heavier on the grain, as is to be expected from a young spirit, but there’s notes of fruit, vanilla, and nutmeg here, enough to temper that cracking barrel char, at least until the rather rustic, heavier finish arrives. Part of that is driven by abv; a little water isn’t a bad idea here, which tempers granary character quite well.
