According to the brand, this 118-proof expression is known for its symphony of flavors, including caramelized sugar, spicy cinnamon candy, brown sugar, dark chocolate, and more.

Where can I buy it?

You might assume that a limited-edition, 18-year-old bourbon whiskey would not only be impossible to find in the wild but would also be uncomfortably expensive. Even though it’s a one-time limited-edition release, it’s currently available at select whiskey retailers’ various markets in the US and at online retailers for the suggested retail price of $499.99.
