A testament to the transformative power of unique finishing, this 10-year-old bourbon is a rare release that redefines expectations. Non-chill-filtered and finished in Muscat Mistelle barrels, it offers an intricate dance of classic bourbon depth and elegant fruit sweetness. Each sip is a revelation, a rich tapestry of flavor woven between tradition and innovation.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Initial waves of rich caramel and toasted oak mingle with dried apricot and fig, hinting at the Muscat Mistelle finish. Subtle floral notes of honeysuckle and a touch of rose petal emerge, underpinned by a classic bourbon sweetness of vanilla bean and brown sugar, all lifted by a faint spice of cinnamon and nutmeg.

Palate: A viscous and coating entry delivers a symphony of flavors. The 10-year aging provides a deep backbone of dark chocolate, leather, and robust oak, which is then beautifully softened and brightened by the Muscat Mistelle. Expect a burst of sweet white grape, honeyed peaches, and orange zest, interwoven with a gentle rye spice – perhaps white pepper or clove. The cask strength ensures a full-bodied mouthfeel that truly speaks to its non-chill-filtered nature.

Finish: Long and evolving, the finish is a delightful interplay of warmth and fruit. The oak structure persists, carrying notes of roasted coffee and tobacco, while the Muscat influence leaves a lingering sweetness of candied fruit, sweet wine, and a hint of crème brûlée. A pleasant effervescence of spice tingles on the tongue, slowly fading to a lasting impression of elegant fruit and well-integrated oak.
