Bib & Tuckers 10 Year Old is a step up in maturity and depth compared to their younger offerings. It balances oak influence with sweet, dessert-like notes and a reasonable spice backbone. While not massively complex, it offers a solid sipping bourbon that leans toward richness and comfort. For enthusiasts it can be interesting to see how the extra years layer in texture and nuance.

• This expression is aged 10 years in charred American white oak barrels (char level No. 1)
