A classic bourbon nose opens with rich caramel and vanilla custard, underpinned by honeyed corn sweetness. Subtle notes of toasted oak, baking spices, and a whisper of dark fruit emerge with time in the glass.
The palate delivers smooth caramel and vanilla bean alongside sweet corn notes, complemented by gentle oak tannins and warm cinnamon spice. Medium-bodied with a pleasantly oily texture that coats the mouth with brown sugar and toasted nuts.
A medium-length finish fades gracefully with lingering vanilla, oak char, and a gentle peppery warmth.
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.
