Six years of patient aging in new charred oak barrels crafts a remarkably smooth and balanced Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. This hand-crafted spirit offers a delightful combination of sweet vanilla, caramel, and gentle spice, making it an excellent candidate for sipping neat or as the foundation of your favorite cocktail.
Tasting Notes
Nose: A gentle and inviting nose, featuring soft vanilla bean and toasted corn, with subtle hints of caramel and a whisper of green apple. There's a faint underlying oak spice that suggests its six years in barrels.
Palate: The palate is remarkably approachable and smooth for its proof. Initial notes of sweet vanilla and buttery caramel emerge, quickly followed by a pleasant warmth of baking spices – cinnamon and nutmeg. A delicate, slightly nutty character develops mid-palate, balanced by a hint of dried fruit.
Finish: A medium-short, clean finish that leaves a residual sweetness of brown sugar and a soft, lingering warmth. The oak influence is present but not overpowering, fading gently with notes of black tea.
