Why Gifted Pour recommends it
This is a bottle for the bourbon lover who already has the everyday pours covered and wants something with real presence. Drawn from one selected barrel and bottled uncut and unfiltered at 122.2 proof, it carries the intensity of bourbon aged in the heat of the Texas Hill Country. Expect dark caramel, scorched oak, sweet pipe tobacco and roasted pecans on the nose, then toffee, cherry cola, cinnamon, saddle leather and vanilla bean across a rich palate, closing long and dry with black pepper, barrel char and a hint of dark cocoa. Each bottle is hand-dipped in wax and individually numbered, which makes it feel personal the moment it is unwrapped and fitting for a milestone birthday, a retirement or a promotion. Encourage the recipient to pour it neat in a wide-mouth glass, then add a splash of water to watch the sweetness and spice open up. It is a pour for special nights and a proud addition to any top shelf.
Pairs well with
- Smoked Texas brisket — The bourbon's barrel char, black pepper and dark caramel echo the bark and smoke of slow-cooked brisket.
- Dark chocolate with sea salt — Hints of dark cocoa on the finish and notes of toffee and vanilla bean make a natural match for salted dark chocolate.
- Retirement or promotion celebration — A numbered, wax-dipped single barrel bottle with deep toffee and tobacco character feels like a considered mark of a career milestone.
