Old Soul Estate Collection 7 Year Pot Still Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Old Soul Estate Collection 7 Year Pot Still Straight Bourbon feels like Mississippi soil, heat, and grain translated directly into the glass. This is very much a sense-of-place whiskey. Distilled on a 500-gallon pot still from a mash bill of 65% corn, 28% wheat, and 7% sorghum, it’s aged at least seven years in new American oak. Bottled at 111.5 proof as a limited estate release, it carries cask-strength weight without losing its easy sweetness.

The nose comes on sweet and a little earthy, like warm fairground air over a funnel-cake stand. Floral honey, vanilla, and bubble gum drift up first, chased by soft baking spice and toasted grain.

On the palate, the whiskey lands soft, sweet, and nutty, wearing the proof with more confidence than aggression. Molasses, caramel, and almond drive the core, with corn sweetness sitting deep rather than loud. A little vanilla cream, light oak, and gentle spice keep it from drifting into pure dessert mode. You taste heat and humidity as flavors seem to swell and stretch.

The finish runs on the shorter side but leaves an unmistakable signature. Grainy, slightly fruity, and spicy, it brings raisin, licorice, and cinnamon over a soft, sweet fade.

It’s dangerously repeatable neat, and absolutely sings in a simple rock pour where a big cube polishes the edges.

Nose: Sweet and gently earthy, the nose offers floral honey, vanilla, bubble gum, and soft baking spice over warm grain and light caramel. There’s a subtle county-fair vibe: fried dough, powdered sugar, and late-summer air.

Palate: Soft, sweet, and nutty on entry, the palate shows molasses, caramel, and almond over vanilla cream and mellow corn sweetness. Light oak and gentle spice slide in, adding structure without dragging things into dryness.
The sorghum twist reads as almost treacly rather than novel.

Finish: Medium, grain-forward, and pleasantly tidy.
Raisin, licorice, and cinnamon flicker over toasted grain and lingering caramel. It leaves a soft warmth and a faint memory of nutty sweetness.

This Old Soul loves food that leans cozy and a little sticky around the edges.

Serve it with smoked pork shoulder finished in a molasses glaze or crispy fried chicken with honey drizzle.

Skillet cornbread with browned edges and whipped honey butter makes an almost on-the-nose pairing in the best way.

On the cheese side, think aged Gouda, buttery cheddar, or a mild blue where salt and fat can bounce off the caramel and grain.

For dessert, reach for pecan pie, pralines, caramel bread pudding, or even a scoop of vanilla ice cream drowned in a healthy splash of whiskey.
