Cracking a 69-Year-Old Bottle! Sunny Brook Vintage Review

Vintage Gold? Tasting a 1957 Sunny Brook Bourbon Miniature! 🥃 Can a tiny bottle from 1957 still deliver big flavor? Today on Your Bourbon Journey, Rebecca and Wayne are cracking open a true relic: a Sunny Brook Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 1/10th pint miniature. Produced by the National Distillers Products Corporation, this "ancient" bottle has been sitting sealed for longer than we've been alive! With a likely mash bill of 75% corn, 13% rye, and 12% malted barley, this 80-proof survivor surprised us with its resilience. From the unexpected butterscotch on biscuits nose to the "dusty funk" of a well-aged spirit, we dive deep into whether this historical pour holds up or falls flat on the palate. In this video, we discuss: The history of the Sunny Brook name dating back to the late 1800s. Breaking the seal on a 1950s National Distillers tax-stamped miniature. A full breakdown of the nose and palate (is that confectionary sugar?). The surprising "legs" and mouthfeel for an 80-proof vintage whiskey. Our final verdict: Would we seek out another bottle of this "ancient" liquid?
