1854 Reserve, The Boss Edition
Dedman and Steck teamed up again to create a second release of 1854 Reserve. This release is named The Boss Edition and is a nod to Wofford College’s mascot, Boss Terrier. With this edition, the proof is raised to 110. The increase in proof and additional time in the barrel unlock newfound flavors not found in our previous release.
Flavor Profile of The Boss Edition
At 110 proof, this is a bold yet balanced bourbon that will impress seasoned enthusiasts while remaining approachable to newcomers. At full proof, the nose opens with pecan praline, vanilla bean, and a touch of tobacco, while the palate delivers notes of vanilla, peach, and cinnamon with a smooth, satisfying mouthfeel. The finish lingers with peppery spice, caramelized sugar, and a touch of dry oak, offering just the right balance of sweetness and warmth.
Praise for 1854 Reserve The Boss Edition
@HubCityBourbonClub:
“1854 Reserve Boss Blend is a great example of how an additional year (or so) and being full proof can bring out new characteristics in a mash bill. Boss Blend delivers on the sweetness of its predecessor, The Old Main Blend, but amps it up with some great fruit on the palate and a beautiful nose.”
@BourbonCuse:
"Live down South and looking for a new wheated pour? You gotta try this one from 1854 Reserve. The Boss Edition comes in warm at 110 but drinks more like 90-95. Nice round flavor and no burn makes this a terrific tailgate pour at Gibbs Stadium before a @woffordterriers football game.
Happy to see this great bourbon from @1854reserve hitting the shelves. Always exciting to see @woffordalumni success too!"
