🥃 12 Year Bourbon Meets Amontillado

The foundation of this release is a mature 12-year-old Kentucky Straight Bourbon.

After its initial maturation, the whiskey is finished in Amontillado sherry casks.

Amontillado is known for its distinctive dry, nutty, and oxidative character, making it an excellent finishing partner for older bourbon.

The casks bring additional layers of:

Dried Fruit

Toasted Almond

Raisin

Sweet Nuts

Tobacco

Sherry Spice

while the mature bourbon provides caramelized brown sugar, vanilla, seasoned oak, and baking spice.

🥃 A Richer, More Savory Finished Bourbon

Rather than turning the bourbon excessively sweet, the Amontillado finish introduces a combination of fruit, nuttiness, and dryness.

The nose begins with dried apricot, golden raisin, rum-soaked plum, toasted almond, and oak spice.

Across the palate, richer flavors emerge:

Rum Raisin Bread

Caramelized Brown Sugar

Peanut Brittle

Sherry Cream

The finish becomes progressively more mature and savory, with toasted nuts, vanilla, tobacco, oak, and warming spice lingering after the sip.

🥃 104 Proof

At 104 proof, this release maintains plenty of concentration without allowing alcohol to overwhelm its sherry-cask character.

The proof works particularly well with the whiskey's 12 years of maturation, giving enough intensity to carry its darker fruit, nut, tobacco, and oak flavors.

A few drops of water can bring forward additional raisin, caramel, vanilla, and sherry sweetness.
