A bridge between barrels. The robust oak and toffee from this 2016 bourbon deftly marries with our hallmark Ruby Port characters. The new addition of Tawny Port-finished bourbon provides the nutty, caramelized fruit character that acts as a bridge between the two flavor profiles. By balancing the bright red berry acidity with the brooding sweetness of dried fruit, we’ve worked to introduce a fresh dimension to this year’s Cask Strength program.
Add sweet & spicy to every sip with a burnished amber hue, the blend of Ruby and Tawny Port barrels bring a nuanced flavor profile that can be enjoyed neat or over a large ice cube.
Caramelized notes of brown sugar and butterscotch open up into stone fruit, pear, and spice.
Crisp apple crumble and buttery pie crust balance darker notes of chocolate, oak, and cinnamon honey. Both nutty and floral.
Pleasant and long. Oak tannins mingle with rich port and bright fruits to deliver a sweet and spiced finale.
