The Return of Cyrus Noble

Cyrus Noble Bourbon first appeared in 1871 where it became a favorite amongst San Franciscans and those with gold rush fever, who were thirsty for Kentucky-made whiskey.  Little has changed since then amongst Bay Area natives.  They're still thirsty for more Kentucky brown water and no matter how much we buy, it's never enough.  The Haas Brothers, who have owned the label since 1922, are now bringing it back by sourcing some fine casks from Kentucky and bottling it under their old trademark.  This release is a five year old from Heaven Hill and it's a fine one at that.  Soft, creamy, and loaded with barrel spice and vanilla, it reminds me of the last Hirsch selection that I loved so much, albeit this one is much less expensive.  Should be $25 a bottle and should be in stock tomorrow afternoon!
