There’s precious little territory that remains relatively unexplored in the American whiskey market at this point, even when it comes to more fanciful blending concepts. Bourbon blended with Irish whiskey? Not exactly common, but it’s still only been a handful of months since. At this point, there really needs to be quality in the bottle, and thankfully Puncher’s Chanceto date going into this tasting of their new The Unified Belt bourbon/Irish whiskey blend.
With barrels sourced by IJW Whiskey Company of Louisville, The Unified Belt brings together younger Kentucky bourbon and Irish whiskey with an older, cask-finished bourbon that I’m assuming is probably from Tennessee. Its three elements are as follows:— 4 year old Irish malt whiskey, aged in ex-bourbon oak.
One of these things, suffice to say, is not at all like the others. It likely stands to reason that the 14-year-old spirit was probably used sparingly, lest it completely determine the flavor profile here, particularly after spending time in the likes of PX sherry casks. At the same time, the high $150 MSRP does suggest there’s presumably a good amount of the older juice in here. Regardless, the final product is blended together at an approachable 48% ABV .
