This Bourbon is packaged in a hefty bottle that looks like the ones seen on the Cognac shelf; the whiskey inside has a brandy-like flavor profile too. The aroma suggests Sherry and dried fruit, while the palate shows bold caramel and maple laced with mocha, clove and cayenne. At nearly 100 proof, it needs a bit of dilution to soften the alcohol edge; that also brings forward the Sherried fruit promised by the aroma.

Although Bourbon may be produced anywhere in the United States, it is most commonly associated with Bourbon County, Kentucky, where it has been produced since the late 18th century. Made from a mash bill containing at least 51% corn, the Bourbon Whiskey distillate must be aged in new, charred white oak barrels. Bourbon Whiskeys are bottled at eighty proof (40% abv) or higher and cannot contain any added color or flavor. A versatile spirit that can be sipped neat, with water or on the rocks, it also performs nicely added to cocktails like the Old Fashioned.
