Flavor Profile

What to Expect: This bottle leans toward Sweet & Dessert-Like and Smoky & Earthy notes. Specific descriptors include caramel, char / smoke, and vanilla.

Each barrel is aged seven years and bottled individually; robust vanilla and caramel notes, slightly smoky, deepen into vanilla, nuts, and oak on a long, full finish.

What Defines This Bottle

Single Barrel

Whiskey drawn and bottled from one individual cask rather than mingled across many; a bottling method, not a mash bill or flavor profile of its own.

A bottling choice, not a production step upstream of it -- the whiskey ages and is distilled the same way as the distillery's other releases, then gets pulled from one specific barrel rather than blended with others before bottling. Bottle matches here come from a bottle's own name explicitly naming it a single barrel release, not an independent barrel-count field -- see this style's own Explore Bottles section for that caveat. See Rickhouse Science for how a barrel's own floor level and rick location can make one single barrel taste different from its neighbors.
