Why Gifted Pour recommends it
A bourbon finished in three different casks makes a thoughtful gift for the whiskey lover who already has the staples on the shelf. Distilled in Kentucky and aged in white oak, this bottling is then finished in Oloroso sherry, Pedro Ximenez sherry, and Cognac casks, and the layering shows in the glass. Dark cherry, vanilla, and caramel lead on the nose. Toffee, fig, and raisin follow on a velvety, full-bodied palate, with dried apricot and a touch of spice from the Cognac finish. The long close brings oak, dark chocolate, and a hint of smokiness. It earned Double Gold and was named Best Special Barrel Finished Bourbon at the 2016 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, a detail a curious recipient will enjoy discovering. Give it for a promotion, a milestone birthday, or Father's Day, to someone who likes to linger over a pour neat or with a few drops of water, or who wants to build a richer Old Fashioned or Manhattan at home.
