Tasting Notes

Nose: Sweet and inviting with a well-integrated aroma of oak, honey, and dried fruits. Subtle undertones of toasted almonds, cinnamon, and a whisper of leather add to the complexity.

Palate: Full-bodied and harmonious, this bourbon delivers waves of toasted oak, vanilla bean, and dark caramel. Hints of orange peel, nutmeg, and dark chocolate emerge with each sip, layered over a rich core of charred wood and spice.

Finish: Long and warming, with persistent notes of toffee, pipe tobacco, and a port wine-like richness that softly fades into a touch of dried cherry and oak tannin.

Why Liquor Geeks recommends it

This is Kentucky Straight Bourbon given a full 12 years in new charred American oak, made at Buffalo Trace Distillery from its Mash Bill #1 and released as a small-batch 2025 edition. The long rest shows. The nose opens with oak, honey and dried fruit, edged with toasted almond, cinnamon and a little leather. The palate is full-bodied and layered with vanilla bean, dark caramel, orange peel, nutmeg and dark chocolate over charred wood and spice. The finish runs long, with toffee, pipe tobacco and a port-like richness that fades into dried cherry and oak tannin. It suits the drinker who already knows bourbon and wants to see what a dozen years in the barrel does to a familiar profile, and it makes a thoughtful bottle for a collector or a milestone. We carry it because it rewards slow, neat sipping, yet still has the structure to anchor a stirred Manhattan or Old Fashioned when the occasion calls for one.

Pairs well with

Aged cheddar and smoked meats — The bourbon's dark caramel, charred wood and spice stand up to sharp cheese and smoky charcuterie without getting lost.
Dark chocolate after dinner — Dark chocolate echoes the palate's own cocoa notes and draws out the dried cherry and toffee on the finish.
A quiet evening cigar — The long, warming finish of pipe tobacco, leather and oak tannin makes a natural companion to a rich cigar.
