This extraordinary bourbon forms part of a new line of extra-aged, ultra-premium American Whiskeys that showcase the dedication to craftsmanship, patience, and consistency in whiskey production.
Legacy and Craftsmanship:

Tasting Notes:
- Proof: Bottled at 120 proof and presented without chill filtering to preserve the whiskey’s full flavor profile and natural integrity.
- Nose: A complex bouquet of aged oak, vanilla, and spices invites a deeper exploration of its aromatic layers.
- Palate: Rich flavors of caramel and toasted nuts are beautifully balanced with a hint of rye spice, underpinned by a sweet, robust corn base.
- Finish: A long, full-bodied finish with enduring warmth and the refined taste of mature bourbon.
This limited 2024 release, consisting of only 133 barrels crafted in December 2005 and aged on the third floor of rickhouse 1I, represents a pinnacle of bourbon craftsmanship, embodying a legacy of quality and excellence.
