Black & Gold Bourbon Whiskey is an 11-year-old bourbon bottled at 45.0% ABV. For a novice drinker, that usually suggests a whiskey with a fuller, more mature character than younger bourbon, while still being approachable at a moderate bottling strength.
Bourbon is typically associated with notes such as vanilla, caramel, oak, and baking spice, developed through aging in new charred oak barrels. With over a decade of maturation, you can generally expect a more rounded balance of sweetness and wood influence than in very youthful examples.
