Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
This is a fifteen-year American whiskey aged in used bourbon barrels and then finished with toasted French oak staves, bottled at 100 proof (50% ABV). That pairing of long time in American oak and a European oak finish gives it a profile that leans toward dessert without losing its backbone. Expect gentle oak and crème de cacao on the nose with hints of vanilla and toasted sugar. The palate brings rich chocolate malt, ripe stone fruit, and roasted almonds and hazelnuts. The finish closes on clove, ginger, and soft oak spice. It suits drinkers who already know their way around bourbon-style whiskey and want to taste what extended aging and a toasted stave finish add. It also makes a thoughtful bottle for a collector's shelf. At full 100 proof it holds up to a single large cube, which softens the spice and lifts the chocolate and fruit. We carry it because the age and the finish are stated plainly, and the flavor in the glass reflects both.
Pairs well with
- Dark chocolate desserts — The whiskey's chocolate malt and crème de cacao notes echo and deepen the cocoa in the dessert.
- Aged cheese and charcuterie board — The nutty almond and hazelnut character and the clove and ginger finish stand up well to aged cheeses and cured meats.
- Slow after-dinner sipping — Its long finish of clove, ginger, and soft oak spice rewards an unhurried pour at the end of the evening.
