The highest-proof whiskey the brand has ever released, this limited-edition expression is bottled at a potent 120.2-proof. It’s a complex, nuanced, non-chill filtered bourbon featuring aromas of fruit cake, toasted vanilla beans, cinnamon, and oak. Sipping it reveals hints of dried cherries, raisins, mint, vanilla, oak, and light spices. The finish is long, warming, and loaded with notes of charred oak, cracked black pepper, and wintry spices. All in all, it’s an exciting release that all bourbon drinkers will want.
