12 Years old high rye (36% Rye) Bourbon

Nose: Rich, polished, and immediately inviting, with layers of creamy vanilla custard, orange-infused chocolate wafer, and soft Luxardo cherry. A touch of glazed donut brings a warm, confectionary sweetness, while baking spices add depth and lift. As it opens, notes of crème brûlée emerge alongside subtle caramelized sugar and mature oak, creating a beautifully integrated and distinctly mature bourbon nose.

Palate: Full and richly textured, delivering an indulgent combination of vanilla-orange cream soda, milk chocolate, and deeply caramelized sugars. Sweet rickhouse oak provides structure without overpowering the sweeter notes, while hints of a root beer float and vanilla custard add another layer of nostalgic dessert character. Exceptional baking spices build through the mid-palate, followed by subtle leather and seasoned oak that give the whiskey a savory, mature edge.

Overall: This is a wonderfully nostalgic expression of classic, old-school bourbon. It combines rich dessert notes with mature oak, baking spice, and just enough leather to keep the profile balanced and sophisticated. There’s a remarkable depth here, with the sweetness, spice, and oak working together rather than competing. Decadent, mature, and unmistakably traditional.
