Winning Bid: $60.00
Aged for nine years before being finished in Sherry Oloroso casks imported from Spain, this bourbon won Double Gold at the 2015 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
Nose: Sweet full notes of dried fruits mingle with caramel and floral notes.
Palate: Dark, rich dried stone fruits follow by caramel, and Rye spice.
Finish: Long and lingering, with touches of nuts, vanilla bread pudding, and spiced cocoa.
A proprietary blend of well aged Bourbon. Rested in used Oloroso Sherry casks to finish. High-rye content (30% rye). 90.4 proof is the ideal sweet spot for depth of character. Never chill-filtered to retain maximum flavor
