Drawn from barrel number 56097, it is bottled at 58% ABV, or 116 proof.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eForbidden breaks with bourbon convention: its mash bill uses white corn and white winter wheat, and Eaves ferments at a low temperature, a 'low and slow' approach that develops more esters and fruit in the mash. The result is a soft, creamy, gourmand bourbon, here at full single barrel strength.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExpect vanilla bean and crème brûlée on the nose, with dried fruit, hazelnut, light citrus and layered spice. The palate brings caramel, citrus oil, baking spices and oak sugar, with nutmeg, clove and coffee, and the finish is creamy and sweet, with oak and spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe faceted bottle with its tall, gem-like silhouette makes it a beautiful gift.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTaste it neat, then add a few drops of water to open the fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBourbon must be made in the United States from a mash of at least 51% corn and aged in new charred oak containers, and straight bourbon must be aged at least two years. Those rules give bourbon its characteristic sweetness, with caramel and vanilla drawn from the charred barrels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vanilla bean, crème brûlée, dried fruit and hazelnut.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Caramel, citrus oil, baking spice and oak sugar.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Creamy and sweet, with oak and spice.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Forbidden (Marianne Eaves)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, single barrel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExpression \/ Batch:\u003c\/strong\u003e Barrel 56097\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 116 proof (58% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCask \/ Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e New charred American oak, single barrel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kentucky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe it neat with a few drops of water.
