Ancient Age

Ancient Age, This bourbon has been well regarded since 1946. It’s smooth and uncomplicated, yet robust in its own right, at 80 proof and distilled from corn, rye, and barley malt. There’s a lot to like about this time-tested bourbon.STRAIGHT BOURBON WHISKEY FROM KENTUCKY

TASTE NOTES(Ancient Age)

Aromas include maize, caramel, toffee, and vanilla. Many of the same characteristics are present, but with a hint of spice and a lingering finish of toffee and citrus.

Ancient Ancient Age Bourbon, like Blanton’s, is distilled at the Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky. This brand, like Blanton’s, is owned by Age International, Inc, a subsidiary of Takara Shuzo, Ltd (located in Kyoto, Japan). Age International was founded in 1983 after the Schenley Company (which launched Ancient Age in 1938) sold the distillery and brand. Takara Shuzo eventually purchased Age International in 1991. Takara Shuzo kept the brands but sold the distillery to Sazerac, which has managed production ever since.

Ancient Ancient Age used to contain a 10-year age assertion. However, the number 10 is still on the label, but it is over the word STAR and is no longer related with the amount of time this bourbon has been aged. Actually, “Aged at least 36 months” is written in tiny letters on the collar label. As a result, the current form of this bourbon is plainly much younger than its forefather.

It bears repeating that Buffalo Trace’s mashbill #2 is held by a Japanese firm, which Buffalo Trace distills, matures, and sells on their behalf. That’s also why Japan has so many more Blantons and varieties. If you’re stuck in the United States, you could potentially sneak into a rickhouse.
That’s a fantastic segue into mentioning that Ancient Ancient Age employs Buffalo Trace’s mashbill 2, making it the “budget” Blanton’s, particularly the Red version. In many aspects, 3A and Blanton’s Red are quite similar, however Red is 46.5% rather than 43%, and it is also single barrel rather than batched.

You can’t disguise defects in a single barrel, but you can in a batch of two to who knows how many barrels. Now that I think about it, Ancient Ancient Age is the only mashbill #2 bourbon with an age statement. There are no stated age declarations for Elmer T Lee, Rock Hill Farms, Hancock’s Reserve, all Blanton’s, and all other Ancient Ages. When you think about it, that’s actually pretty cool.
Find out if Ancient Ancient Age Bourbon is just a watered-down and forgettable mashbill #2 bourbon mixed from reject Blanton’s, or if it’s an affordable yet high-quality whiskey in its own right in this review(ancient age 90).

Ancient Ancient Age immediately reminds me of Blanton’s Red. It has dried oak, fennel, licorice, dried ginseng, rosemary, dried berries (cherry being the most prominent), green grape, dry oak, cinnamon, clove, and a hint of rose and apple peel. The initial sniff has a slight alcohol sting, but it’s not unpleasant(ancient age 90). There’s a noticeable, but not overpowering, oakiness, dryness, and earthiness. I can’t help but believe that this already smells delicious.

Swirling enhances the earthy and sweet toasted honey, licorice, fennel, marshmallow, green grape, baked apple skins, rosemary, thyme, traces of deeper caramel(ancient age 90) and dried cherries, dry and musty oak, and clove. The green grape and apple will occasionally come to the front for a rapid change of pace.

The floral and earthy blackness is intriguing, and it reminds me of 51% rye whiskeys. As this bourbon nears the end of its life, I begin to detect undertones of dark chocolate.
It’s not very dense or complicated, but it has enough heft and variation that I simply love smelling it.

Whisk(e)y is produced in over 20 countries, including Scotland, Japan, Ireland, the United States, Canada, Taiwan, Sweden, and India. There are a seemingly infinite amount of different types of whiskies and bourbons all over the world, but they all have one thing in common: they are completely refined from a variety of grains, including grain, corn, rye, and wheat, and are generally matured in wooden vessels.

The kind of bourbon is determined by the grain used in the refining process and the country of origin. Scotland, India, and Japan leave out the “e” in whisky, but Ireland and the United States spell it with the “e.”

Different grains impart different flavors. When you combine that with varying refining procedures by district and producer, you get a wide world of flavors ranging from sweet to strong and spicy, smokey and smooth.
