Henry McKenna has traditionally been a shelf-sitting bourbon that was readily available. It was an enigma in today’s bourbon market, given its 10-year age statement, its $40 price tag, and the fact that it is bottled-in-bond. This was the case until it shocked the world at the 2019 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, where it won the most prestigious award: Best in Show Whiskey, which had traditionally been reserved for rare or high-dollar whiskeys. The award and the price point made it prime for Tatering; thus, it quickly disappeared from store shelves as Taters scrambled to hoard this old whiskey and its newfound fame. In short, this McKenna was one hot poTater. Because it is a single barrel bourbon, there will be variation from barrel to barrel with this bottle.
