📝 Tasting Notes

👃 Nose

Luxurious aromas of rich caramel, crème brûlée, and vanilla bean blend seamlessly with aged oak and dried fruits—figs and cherries. Subtle hints of cinnamon, leather, and tobacco add sophisticated complexity.

👅 Palate

Silky and elegant with profound depth, featuring layers of butterscotch, dark caramel, and vanilla cream. Corn sweetness melds with toasted oak, baking spices, dried stone fruits, and a touch of dark chocolate in perfect harmony.

🔥 Finish

Exceptionally long, warm finish with lingering oak, caramel, vanilla, and gentle spice notes that evolve gracefully over time.

🥃 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.
