📝 Tasting Notes

👃 Nose

Straightforward bourbon character with bright corn sweetness, caramel candy, and vanilla extract taking center stage. Oak char, white pepper, and a hint of grain alcohol provide a rustic, high-proof edge.

👅 Palate

Bold and fiery with assertive corn-forward sweetness balanced by significant peppery heat and oak spice. Flavors of butterscotch, vanilla, charred wood, and cracked black pepper deliver a no-nonsense bourbon experience with surprising depth for the value.

🔥 Finish

Hot, lengthy finish with peppery warmth, charred oak, and lingering sweet corn notes that gradually fade to spice.

🥃 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.
