Tasting Experience
Appearance: Deep amber with rich mahogany highlights.
Nose: Inviting aromas of honeyed caramel, toasted oak, dried cherries, and subtle dark fruit, with hints of vanilla and warm baking spice.
Palate: Full-bodied and smooth, featuring rich notes of brown sugar, dried fruit, candied orange peel, and toasted nuts, underpinned by sweet grain, gentle rye spice, and creamy caramel. Sherry cask influence adds a layered fruitiness and mild raisins or fig character.
Finish: Long, warm, and luxurious, with lingering sweet fruit, oak warmth, and soft spice that gracefully taper with each sip.
Craftsmanship
This straight bourbon begins with a sweet mash method that retains residual fermentation character, amplifying depth and complexity in the grain profile. After primary aging in new charred American oak barrels, the whiskey is finished in sherry casks, where rich fortified wine barrel influence imparts dried fruit, nut, and subtle oxidative depth. The result is a uniquely expressive bourbon that balances American tradition with Old World cask nuance.
Best Enjoyed
