Rich aromas of dried cherries and port wine mingle with vanilla custard and toasted oak. Hints of dark chocolate and baking spices emerge with brown sugar sweetness underneath.
The palate opens with creamy vanilla and caramel, transitioning to ripe stone fruits and red wine notes from the port cask finishing. Mid-palate brings maple syrup sweetness balanced by gentle oak tannins and warming spice.
Medium-long finish with lingering port wine character, soft vanilla, and a touch of cinnamon warmth fading gently.
The purist's choice. Full oak, vanilla, and caramel come through at room temperature with no dilution.
A single large cube slows dilution and tames heat on high-proof pours. Wheated bourbons are especially good this way.
On 100+ proof bottles, a few drops settle the alcohol burn and let the grain and spice breathe.
