Notes

About Layers of complexity: This behemoth of a bourbon was aged in a new American oak 30-gallon barrel, which is just shy of a quarter cask. Loads of vanilla oak impartment here with a sticky, cakey mouthfeel that simply hedonistic. Dive into this gorgeous cask from one of America’s craft distilling pioneers!

Tasting Panel Note: Gorgeous aromas of apple blossom and elderflower wafted over toasted pine nuts and hazelnut butter spread on to carrot cake, as the gentle spice of nutmeg and cloves blended into runny honey. The taste combined lime marmalade, cherry cake and dried cranberries with honey-glazed ham dotted with pink peppercorns, while dry rye spice met peppermint and menthol. With a dash of water came caramel wafers in vanilla ice cream drizzled with maple syrup and cold custard. Nutty notes returned on the palate alongside golden sultanas in fruit loaf, fennel seeds and mint-scented coconut husk on a dry and peppery finish.
