📝 Tasting Notes

👃 Nose

Elegant nose offering honey sweetness, butterscotch, and dried orange peel alongside vanilla bean and oak spice. Subtle notes of leather, dark cherry, and nutmeg add complexity to this refined single barrel expression.

👅 Palate

Silky mouthfeel with harmonious flavors of caramel, toffee, and orange zest balanced by oak tannins and warming spices. Layers of vanilla cream, toasted nuts, and dried apricot develop mid-palate with a refined, sophisticated character.

🔥 Finish

Medium-long finish with lingering caramel, gentle oak, and a warming spice that fades gracefully with hints of citrus.

🥃 How to Enjoy

Recommended
🥃
Neat

The purist's choice. Full oak, vanilla, and caramel come through at room temperature with no dilution.

🧊
On the Rocks

A single large cube slows dilution and tames heat on high-proof pours. Wheated bourbons are especially good this way.

💧
With Water

On 100+ proof bottles, a few drops settle the alcohol burn and let the grain and spice breathe.

💡 High-proof and single barrel releases shine neat. Save the rocks for everyday-sipper bourbons.
