 Dark Arts Whiskey House The Empyrean Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Finished Separately in Red and White Port Wine Casks • Aged 7.5 Years • Bottled at 111.36 Proof (55.68% ABV)

Tone: Master Alchemist / Whiskey Connoisseur

From the alchemical depths of Dark Arts Whiskey House emerges The Empyrean, a bold study in contrast, where rugged bourbon meets the lush complexity of red and white port casks. Aged for 7.5 years before being finished separately in two opposing worlds of port, then blended in secret, this expression is a rare dance of light and shadow, brightness and indulgence crafted for those who savor unexpected harmony.

Tasting Notes

  •  Nose: Bright yet layered: fresh tobacco leaves unfurl over sticky baked goods and soft brown sugar. A whisper of BBQ honeydew and a hint of grilled melon tease beneath ripe fruit kissed by smoke. 
  • Palate: An opulent wave of baking spice think allspice and anise gives way to a sugar-dusted richness that coats the tongue, then parades torched orchard fruit and caramelized depth. 
  • Finish: Luxuriously long and creamy, the close lingers with a velvety lactonic texture, fading into tobacco, worn leather, and a final flicker of warming spice. Structure and resonance meet indulgence. 

 Serving Suggestions

  •  Neat  Sip slowly and let its layered complexity unfold in full.
  • Splash of Water Eases the intensity, revealing subtle fruit and floral elegance.
  • Signature Cocktail (“Port-Conjurer Old Fashioned”)
    • 2 oz The Empyrean
    • ½ tsp Port wine syrup
    • 2 dashes aromatic bitters
    • Stir over ice, strain into a chilled coupe, garnish with a flamed orange twist. A refined declaration of its port-finish legacy. 

Why It Matters

The Empyrean is not just a finish it’s a concept made liquid. By finishing one part of the whiskey in red port (for deep sweetness) and another in white port (for bright floral nuance) before recombining them in secret, Dark Arts delivers a whiskey that transcends its origins. Crafted for collectors and adventurous drinkers, this limited-release gem embodies opposites igniting in perfect alchemy.
