H.K. Young Bourbon Co. Toasted Barrel Strength Kentucky Straight Bourbon

Indulge in HK Young Toasted Kentucky Straight Bourbon "Panacea"—a premium bourbon crafted from a shared passion for the art of whiskey finishing. HK Young is the result of three friends’ commitment to creating bourbon with depth, elegance, and sophistication, inspired by the unique character of toasted barrel finishes. Unlike standard high-char barrels, Panacea is aged in specially toasted barrels, akin to wine barrels, which lend a smoother, richer flavor profile.

"Panacea" is a meticulously crafted blend of three mashbills from Bardstown Distilling Company: 60% corn/36% rye/4% malted barley, 70% corn/20% rye/10% malted barley, and 78% corn/10% rye/12% malted barley. This blend incorporates aged whiskey between six and eight years, with each sip revealing complex layers achieved through careful blending and barrel selection. Bottled at a robust 114.4 proof, Panacea offers a bold experience that balances toasted sweetness with rich, full-bodied notes.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Warm vanilla and toasted oak lead, accented by hints of caramel and baking spices.
• Palate: Layers of dark fruit, honey, and toffee, with soft smokiness from the toasted barrels.
• Finish: Long and smooth with lingering warmth, showcasing notes of charred oak and sweet spice.

With only 13 barrels used in this limited release, HK Young Panacea stands as a testament to the art of toasted barrel finishing. Ideal for bourbon enthusiasts looking for a unique and elevated expression, Panacea is a celebration of the craft and creativity that define HK Young bourbons.
