This rye bourbon is aged for 10 years and finished in French oak barrels. The French oak barrels are air-dried outdoors for over two years, allowing the natural growth of fungi to release more vanillin while reducing tannic astringency. This imparts unique flavor characteristics to the whiskey, such as toasted almonds, mocha, and subtle spice.
On the nose, you will find a mix of grains, dried fruits such as figs, plums, peaches, and a hint of licorice. The palate is complex, with notes of cloves, ginger, tobacco, wine tannins, and additional fruity undertones. The finish is long and balanced, showcasing layers of sweet and spicy flavors.
