Tasting Notes

Nose

Expect inviting aromas of caramel, baked apple, vanilla cream, toasted oak, and baking spice.

How to Enjoy

For the best experience, start by enjoying this bourbon neat in a Glencairn or tulip-shaped whiskey glass, allowing it to breathe for a few minutes. Experiment with a few drops of water to observe how it alters the balance of sweetness, fruit, spice, and oak. For a chilled serve, pour it over one large ice cube. Its robust character also makes it an excellent choice for an Old Fashioned cocktail, complemented by aromatic bitters and an orange twist.
