Tasting Notes:
Nose: Marmalade, dried fruit (raisins, cherries, plums), subtle floral notes, toffee, candied citrus peel, light oak spice.

Finish: Medium length, gradually drying. Dark fruit lingers (raisins, cherry), light oak tannin, a bit of spice and bittersweet edge.

Production & Aging:
This bourbon begins as a wheated bourbon aged in new toasted/charred American oak barrels, then is rested in hand‑made Pedro Ximénez (PX) sherry casks from Spain’s Casknolia Cooperage. The finish in sherry wood imparts dessert‑wine depth and fruit intensity. The final blend is composed of no more than 15 barrels, and the whiskey is bottled non‑chill filtered to preserve its full flavor profile.

Distinctive Characteristics:

• The PX sherry finishing greatly amplifies the dried fruit, dark berry, and dessert‑wine character, giving it a “sherried” overlay not common in standard bourbons.
• The wheated mash bill softens the edges and integrates well with the sherry influence, smoothing the transition between bourbon and finishing wood.
• Despite a relatively modest proof, it remains full in expression and quite approachable, with a balance between sweet fruit, oak, and spice.

Ideal Serving Suggestions:

• Best sipped neat to appreciate the interplay of bourbon and sherry influence.
• A few drops of water may help bring out secondary notes without overly diluting the sherry layer.
• Avoid excessive ice or heavy dilution, which may mute the delicate fruit-oak balance.
• Serve in a tulip or Glencairn glass to concentrate aroma and allow the richer fruit notes to shine.
