Age: 10 years

Proof: 94 proof

Tasting Notes:

Nose: Milk chocolate, ripe strawberry and chai tea with a curious hint of the outdoors like a forest stream in autumn.

Palate: Sweet cream and brown sugar touched with vanilla bean. Strawberry notes
transform to a more structured sweet cardamom.

Finish: What starts as sweet meets a robust wall of oak and tannin. Chocolate and berry notes prevail with an inviting, long and pleasant finish

About the product: The Dancing Goat Team embarked on an eighteen-month journey—analysis, blending, reentry testing, gauging, finishing, re-blending, and regauging—to take the most choice barrels from their elusive aged stocks. Stillman’s Sonder is a whiskey that is polished and reimagined. It is made by committee and by generational knowledge and responsibility.

From 2010 to 2016, distillation at MGP in Indiana included a series of large exploratory test runs, and ultimately orphaned barrels. The Maas Family carefully collected these barrels in secret until their stocks grew and aged to a point where a 10+ year aged whiskey could be blended and produced with consistency and growth.

The 10-Year Straight Bourbon Whiskey utilizes both Andean and American oak aged barrels with texture and concentration pushed through several double oaked components. Spoon proofed in barrels at times with encouraged oxidation through short fills and vatting, this is a remarkably expressive bourbon crafted through extreme care and reflection.
