📝 Tasting Notes

👃 Nose

Bold rye grain leads with cracked black pepper and dried herbs, followed by layers of toasted oak and butterscotch. Subtle notes of cinnamon bark and vanilla bean emerge with warming.

👅 Palate

Robust and spicy entry with peppery rye grain and baking spices coating the palate. Rich caramel sweetness balances the heat, with oak tannins and hints of clove and charred wood providing structure.

🔥 Finish

Long and warming with lingering rye spice, oak char, and a touch of sweet vanilla that slowly fades.

🥃 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.
