Nelson Bros. Reserve Bourbon Whiskey
Whisky Advocate Score: 93, #10 on the Top 20 Whiskies of 2022 List
Charlie and Andy Nelson resurrected the family company in 2009, a century after Tennessee’s Prohibition laws shuttered it. Initial efforts focused on a second label, Belle Meade, which scored well. This year came the first releases bearing the family name on two bourbon labels–Nelson Bros. Classic and Reserve. Both have carried on the legacy admirably. This one packs a punch but is soft and gentle at the same time, offering red berry and vanilla malt aromas and a palate of melted marshmallows, coconut shavings, and baked apples. Like all good whiskeys, it saves the best for last, with a long, creamy finish of chocolate and spice
