🎨 Flavor Profile
📝 Tasting Notes
Powerful aromas of dark caramel, charred oak, and vanilla extract burst from the glass with black pepper, cinnamon bark, and dried dark fruits. Underlying notes of brown butter, toasted pecans, and leather add depth and complexity.
Rich and full-bodied with intense flavors of burnt sugar, espresso, and dark chocolate complemented by robust oak char and baking spices. The barrel proof strength delivers concentrated vanilla, dried cherry, and warming cinnamon with assertive peppery heat.
Long, powerful finish with persistent oak, dark caramel, and building spice heat that lingers with remarkable intensity and warmth.
🥃 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.
