This 10-year-old Straight Bourbon Whiskey was distilled from a classic corn-forward mash bill (77% corn) and aged in deeply charred American oak barrels.
Now it has a growing core range of utterly delicious whiskies, all in 700ml bottles.
Buttery corn and a little touch of spicy rye on the nose. As this is a new regular release, it’s such a great example of a classic bourbon nose. Vanilla, butter, sweetcorn, desiccated coconut, toffee popcorn, mint toffees, soft rye spices that move around the nose like nutmeg and cinnamon sugar. A great classic bourbon nose.
