Age: 7 years (6 months in the French Oak Cabernet)

Proof: 116.24

Mash bill: The Whiskey War blend

Tasting Notes: This 6.5 year double oaked bourbon (387 days in its second barrel) is the boxed pie for any season, warm sweet spices all the way but beautifully creamy at 100 proof. 

The nose is jammy, toasty, and smoky all at once. Warming notes of cinnamon, ginger, and clove surround plum, cranberry, and raspberry, all layered with buttery, leathery brown sugar and dark chocolate sweetness.

The palate is explosive, cocoa powder and clove give way to saturated, spiced red and purple fruits, before fading into toasted vanilla custard and lingering dark chocolate.

The finish clings and evolves, growing damp and dry with notes of leather, buttery cherry pastry, soft black peppercorn, and tobacco.
