Blue Bolt 249: 'Savage's Sacrifice'

"Savage's Sacrifice" is the first of its kind from Blue Bolt, finished in American Apple Brandy Barrels sourced from Laird Distillery, America’s oldest distillery, right here in Virginia. We invite you to experience the captivating aromas of honey, apple, and caramel, complemented by enticing notes of oak, apricot, and vanilla. The finish is truly unique, striking a perfect balance between sweet and spicy!

This release holds a special place in our hearts as we honor the sacrifice of LCpl Jeremiah E. Savage, who bravely served with the Second Battalion 4th Marines and made the ultimate sacrifice on May 12, 2004. All charitable proceeds from this bottle will be donated to the Wounded Warrior Project in his honor.

Product Details

General Profile: This is a barrel-finished bourbon, with the unique element being its maturation in American Apple Brandy Barrels. This finish is designed to impart distinctive fruit and sweet characteristics to the bourbon base, creating a truly unique profile.

Aroma: The nose is quite aromatic, with prominent notes of sweet apple, honey, and rich caramel. There should also be classic bourbon aromas of vanilla and oak, perhaps with a hint of cinnamon or other baking spices from the bourbon's original aging. The apple brandy influence should be noticeable, bringing a fresh, orchard fruit dimension.

Palate: On the palate, anticipate a harmonious blend of the bourbon's inherent sweetness (vanilla, caramel, brown sugar) with the vibrant fruitiness of the apple brandy. Look for flavors of bright apricot, baked apple, and perhaps a subtle hint of apple pie spice. The oak from the bourbon aging should provide structure and a pleasant dryness.

Finish: The finish is designed to be unique and balanced, leaning towards a combination of sweet and spicy. You'll likely experience a lingering apple sweetness that gently fades into a warm, peppery or spicy note, characteristic of a well-aged bourbon. The finish should be clean and memorable.
