This bold and powerful expression of pure bourbon highlights the essence of what you want, bottled straight from the barrel without dilution. This unfiltered spirit delivers a robust flavor profile, showcasing the rich influence of time spent aging in charred oak barrels.

On the nose, it opens with deep, inviting aromas of caramel, dark toffee, and brown sugar, layered with notes of vanilla bean, toasted oak, and a hint of baking spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. Subtle undertones of dried fruit, leather, and a touch of dark chocolate add depth and intrigue.

The palate is intense and full-bodied, bursting with flavors of rich caramelized sugar, maple syrup, and dark cherries, balanced by warming spices, charred oak, and a hint of black pepper. The natural cask strength delivers a mouth-coating texture with a pleasant heat, while layers of complexity unfold with every sip.
