📝 Tasting Notes

👃 Nose

Bold and assertive with intense rye spice, fresh mint, and cracked black pepper leading the charge. Sweet notes of dark caramel, brown sugar, and charred oak provide balance, while hints of anise and clove add aromatic depth befitting its bottled-in-bond proof.

👅 Palate

Robust and full-bodied at 100 proof, delivering waves of cinnamon, mint, and rye grain spice alongside rich caramel and vanilla. The higher proof amplifies both the sweetness and the peppery bite, creating a dynamic, chewy texture with excellent structure.

🔥 Finish

Long and warming with persistent baking spices, oak tannins, and a peppery tingle that evolves into sweet vanilla and dried herbs.

🥃 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.
