A more robust nose than its 86-proof sibling, offering deeper caramel, vanilla bean, and honey notes alongside orange zest and toasted oak. Warming spices of cinnamon and clove emerge with hints of cherry and dark fruit.
The palate delivers concentrated caramel and vanilla with pronounced oak tannins and baking spices. Fuller-bodied with richer mouthfeel, showcasing honey sweetness, citrus peel, and black pepper alongside sweet corn notes.
A medium finish with persistent oak, warm spice, and lingering caramel sweetness.
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.
