Q: Can I age it longer in the bottle?
A: While bourbon doesn’t age in glass, it can develop subtle nuances over time once bottled. Most enthusiasts prefer to enjoy it now.
Nose: Rich waves of caramelized oak, toasted vanilla, and dark brown sugar lead the way. Hints of ripe cherries, baking spice, and roasted nuts rise with the heat, showcasing its barrel strength intensity. Palate: Bold and full-bodied with layers of molasses, toffee, cinnamon, and charred oak. Mid-palate reveals dried figs, dark chocolate, and a touch of leather, balanced by a warming spice kick that highlights the 126.9 proof. Finish: Exceptionally long and powerful.
