Rich aromas of PX sherry-soaked raisins and figs open the bouquet, followed by honeyed caramel, toasted pecans, and dark chocolate. Underlying notes of cinnamon bark and oak char add depth and complexity.
The palate is luxuriously sweet with layers of toffee, dried cherries, and sherry-drenched fruitcake, balanced by warming baking spices and peppery rye. Mid-palate richness reveals dark honey, roasted nuts, and hints of leather.
Long and warming finish with lingering sherry sweetness, cocoa powder, and gentle oak tannins that fade into a pleasant spiced 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.
