πŸ“ Tasting Notes

πŸ‘ƒ Nose

Luxurious and mature with deep caramelized sugar, aged oak, and concentrated dried fruits including raisin and fig. The rye spice is present but beautifully integrated, appearing as warm cinnamon bark, nutmeg, and allspice beneath layers of vanilla custard, leather, and polished wood.

πŸ‘… Palate

Rich and velvety with exceptional depth, showcasing dark caramel, toffee, and brown butter alongside refined rye spice. The extended aging brings forth notes of dried cherry, toasted almond, cigar box, and crème brûlée, all wrapped in a luxurious, oily mouthfeel.

πŸ”₯ Finish

Very long and contemplative with persistent oak influence, sweet spice, dark chocolate, and a refined, gently drying tannin structure.

πŸ₯ƒ How to Enjoy

Recommended
πŸ₯ƒ
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.

πŸ’§
With Water

On 100+ proof bottles, a few drops settle the alcohol burn and let the grain and spice breathe.

πŸ’‘ High-proof and single barrel releases shine neat. Save the rocks for everyday-sipper bourbons.
