HOW TO SERVE

Serve neat with a splash of water or over ice. Pair this Bourbon with BBQ. A Manhattan with Vermouth di Torino is an ideal cocktail route.

X-FACTOR

A textbook example of a Bourbon with perfect integration of alcohol and wood — bravo!

TASTING NOTE

Bright, medium amber color. The aromatics are very intense, presenting aromas of cedar, cigar box, baking spices, grains, and charred oak with supporting notes of dried fruits, black cherry, and chocolate. The palate is in full accord with the nose delivering a cinnamon-driven core with flavors of apricot, treacle, oak, chocolate, maple syrup, white pepper, and fruitcake. The finish is long and lingering. Full-bodied and nicely balanced with a silky texture.
