HOW TO SERVE

Serve neat or over a single large cube of ice. It's also great in all of your favorite Whiskey cocktails — may we suggest an Irish Manhattan.

X-FACTOR

The wood and spirit marriage is perfect without either taking the lead — symmetry and balance.

TASTING NOTE

Bright, light copper/bronze color. The aromatics are very intense, offering scents of vanilla, brioche, and fruitcake with supporting notes of baking spices, caramel, and cereal. The palate substantially agrees with the nose delivering a baked orchard fruit-driven core with supporting flavors of cashew butter and ginger biscuits. The finish is long. Medium to full-bodied and favorably balanced with a velvety texture.
