🔬 Whiskey Details
🎨 Flavor Profile
📝 Tasting Notes
Classic bourbon aromatics of caramel corn and vanilla extract mingle with honey-roasted nuts and charred oak. Secondary notes of dried orange peel, cinnamon stick, and toasted grain provide complexity with a hint of leather and tobacco leaf.
Medium-bodied and well-balanced, offering flavors of caramel, vanilla, and honey sweetness countered by robust oak tannins and baking spices. Toasted pecan, dark toffee, and black pepper emerge, with the high-rye mashbill contributing a subtle spicy edge throughout.
Medium finish with warming oak spices, lingering caramel sweetness, and a gentle peppery fade accented by toasted nuts.
🥃 How to Enjoy
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.
