Enjoy the flavors and aromas of Kentucky’s best-known beverage infused into a custom blend of handpicked Chinese and Indian teas. You’ll love the subtle notes of vanilla and caramel with a hint of char from the bourbon barrel. Make mine a double!
1 tsp per cup steep at 212 for 3-5 minutes.

Shae Advent Day 6
I steeped this slightly longer than usual, but still within the recommend parameters, and it came out tasting a bit too harsh for me. Really, I don’t taste any flavoring here, just sharp black tea. This could be a good base for bubble tea or mixing with something else, but I wish it had a bit more personality itself.
From Shae.
This is better than I expected, and I like it more than Adagio’s Kentucky Bourbon. It certainly tastes like bourbon, not a whole lot of caramel or vanilla notes, but has a bit of a harshness to the finish. But then most bourbons have a bit of a harsh finish. There are some fruity notes to the aftertaste. I am enjoying this tea, but am thinking it would be better with a less harsh base black tea. The second steep is certainly weaker, but the harshness is gone as well. Its bourbon on the rocks with too much ice.
Flavors: Astringent, Fruity, Whiskey
Oh no! I was hoping those vanilla/caramel notes would come through for you. Hopefully tomorrow’s will be better. :)
It’s totally fine! I have a sugar free caramel syrup I can add, and I’ve also been looking for a strong black tea to be a pumpkin spice bubble tea base, so the rest of this sample can go to several different worthy causes!
