Sensory Description:
The nose opens with classic bourbon notes, rich caramel, vanilla bean, brioche, and a hint of baking spice, layered with woodsy sandalwood and soft smoke. On the palate, flavors unfold into sweet oranges, raisins, figs, pecan, cinnamon toast, honey, and syrupy baking spice, finishing with warm oak spice, coffee, and a gentle sweetness balanced by a creamy texture. A subtle splash of water brightens tropical fruit aromas and smoothes spice intensity.
Awards & Accolades:
- Whisky Advocate: 92 points for the 2023 edition

Serving Suggestions:
Serve neat at room temperature (roughly 65–70 °F) to appreciate its full-bodied intensity, or add a few drops of spring water to release vibrant fruit and spice nuances. This bourbon pairs exceptionally well with rich chocolate desserts, pecan pie, roasted nuts, or hearty smoked meats, offering warmth, depth, and celebratory indulgence.
