Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
This is a barrel-forward Kentucky Straight Bourbon with real structure. It was aged a minimum of seven years in new charred oak, bottled at 103 proof (51.5% ABV), and blended from hand-selected barrels for a limited release made exclusively for the California market. The nose brings caramel, dried fruit, toasted oak and a hint of cinnamon. The palate is rich and full, with toffee, dark cherry, vanilla bean and baking spice, and it closes long on charred oak, black pepper and honeyed grain. It suits drinkers who already know they like an oak-driven, higher-proof pour, and it rewards a slow evening with a splash of water to open up more sweetness and spice. Collectors will appreciate a small batch with a defined identity rather than a generic shelf bottle. We carry it because it delivers what the label promises: a mature, corn-dominant bourbon with depth and balance, and enough proof to carry its flavor without losing its smoothness.
Pairs well with
- Smoked brisket — The bourbon's charred oak and black pepper finish echo the bark and smoke of slow-cooked brisket.
- Dark chocolate-covered almonds — Dark cherry, toffee and toasted oak on the palate play naturally against bittersweet chocolate and roasted nuts.
- After-dinner fireside sipping — Its long, structured finish and warm caramel and cinnamon notes are made for an unhurried pour at the end of the evening.
