Tasting Notes
- Nose: Roasted peanuts, toasted oak, and a dark wave of toffee and molasses
- Palate: Bold bursts of burnt sugar, cinnamon bark, and barrel char with warming vanilla
- Finish: Long and commanding, with a smoky-sweet finale that lingers like a jazz sax solo in a smoky bar
Recommended Serve:
- Neat, with a drop of water if you dare
- Over a large rock to open up the oak and spice
Pairing Suggestions: Food: Smoked brisket, duck confit, or chocolate bread pudding
- Cigar: Maduro-wrapped Nicaraguan with spice to match the heat
This is bourbon for the believers no gimmics, no shortcuts. Just deep-aged complexity, full-throttle proof, and the kind of burn that builds character. Batch B525 doesn’t whisper it sings in a gravelly voice and pours like it means it.
