While many brands start slow with a non-aged-statement whiskey or a 10-year-old expression, Oakley Spirits is starting off with a bang. That’s because this brand, named for the legendary sharpshooter and western hero Annie Oakley, is launching Rare Collector’s Edition 20-Year Aged Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon as its inaugural expression.

Each bottle of this limited-edition expression featured a hand-numbered label. Sourced from “of Kentucky’s oldest and most legendary distilleries,”  it was matured for two decades in charred American oak barrels.

The result is a cask-strength, memorable whiskey that (according to the brand) begins with a nose of honeysuckles and baked peach. The palate is a mix of German chocolate cake, caramelized vanilla, dark cherry, and toasted pecans. The finish is warm and lingering and features a broad range of flavors, including cracked black pepper, smoky oak, and creme brûlée.

Not only is it a noteworthy bourbon whiskey, but it’s also the first expression in the world to use anti-fraud ink technology to guarantee your bottle isn’t counterfeit. Created by Iridia and used by BAXUS on the Solana blockchain, you can rest assured that your bottle is the real deal, including a 100% tamper-proof seal.
