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.

Bourbon is referred to as America’s “native spirit” for a reason. While the U.S. is known for its centuries-long tradition of beer production, its history of rye whiskey (in Pennsylvania and Maryland), and other forms of alcohol, there’s nothing in the American alcohol landscape more important than bourbon whiskey.

We can’t get enough bourbon. We love to sip it neat, on the rocks, with a splash of water, and mixed into myriad cocktails like the Old Fashioned, Manhattan, Whiskey Sour, Mint Julep, and more. We love it when it’s 80-proof, cask-strength, barrel-proof, and bottle-in-bond.
