PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Black Saddle 12-Year Old is a mature, small-batch Kentucky bourbon (12 years aged, 90 proof) that delivers a dessert-like richness: think crème brûlée, toasted cinnamon, hard candy, and spices. It’s well suited for sipping neat or as a feature in more nuanced whiskey cocktails.
| Spec | Detail |
|---|---|
| Name | Black Saddle 12-Year Old Straight Bourbon Whiskey |
| Type / Style | Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey (Small Batch) |
| Age Statement | 12 years (aged in charred American oak barrels) |
| Proof / ABV | 90 proof (≈ 45% ABV) |
| Origin | Kentucky, USA |
| Element | Notes & Flavour Highlights |
|---|---|
| Appearance | Rich amber / deep golden color — shows its time in oak. |
| Aroma / Nose | Spicy nougat, crème brûlée, hard candy sweetness up front; toasted cinnamon, peppery spice, with vanilla undertones. |
| Palate / Taste | Smooth entrance with caramel and vanilla; mid-palate brings in toasted oak, cinnamon spice, maybe a bit of butterscotch or toffee; some dark fruit & mild citrus in fresher bottles. |
| Finish | Warm, lingering finish with oak, spice (pepper/cinnamon), and sweetness fading into caramel & vanilla. Not overly harsh. |
Age: 12 years is a relatively long ageing for many bourbons in this price band, which tends to bring deeper flavors & more oak integration.
Award Recognition: It won the Double Gold Medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition in 2014, where it was also named Best Small Batch Bourbon.
Flavor Complexity Over Time: Reviewers often mention more layered flavours when sipping slowly—cream-brûlée, spice, nutmeg, light fruit — more than many bourbons with lesser age.
Excellent dessert-bourbon: sweet and rich enough to satisfy without being overwhelming.
Well balanced: not just sweetness or just oak; it has spice, maturity, and profile depth.
Good value for the age: for many drinkers, 12 years brings prestige and complexity not always present in younger bourbons.
Bottle Size: All bottles are 750ML/700ML unless otherwise noted.
21 and Over: Adult Signature Required
