Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
This is a 15-year-old Kentucky straight bourbon that spent a final nine months in Tokaji wine casks, the golden dessert wine of Hungary, before being bottled at cask strength, 117 proof. It keeps its bourbon backbone of oak, vanilla, and caramel on the nose, then layers in baked apricot, honeycomb, and candied citrus peel. The palate is rich and commanding, with dark caramel, toasted oak, dried fig, and tobacco giving way to orchard fruit, floral honey, and a subtle thread of Tokaji acidity, and the finish lingers on honey, dried apricot, and orange zest. It suits the collector or seasoned bourbon drinker who wants to taste how a sweet wine cask reshapes mature bourbon, and it rewards slow sipping more than mixing, though a careful Old Fashioned works beautifully. At this strength, a few drops of water open up the fruit. We carry it because it is a limited-edition release with a distinctive finish that shows the conversation between barrel and wine with real clarity.
Pairs well with
- Honey-drizzled blue cheese — The bourbon's floral honey and dried apricot notes echo the honey while its oak and spice stand up to the cheese's salty richness.
- Fig and walnut tart — Dried fig and dark caramel on the palate mirror the tart's fruit and toasted, nutty sweetness.
- Slow after-dinner nightcap — Its long, warm finish of spice, oak, honey, and orange zest is made for unhurried sipping at the end of an evening.
