Tasting
How it drinks
- Sight
- Deep amber-mahogany; full body, rich and viscous
- Nose
- Caramelized honey, toasted oak, stone fruit. OESO recipe's fruit character deeply integrated after two decades
- Palate
- Layered vanilla, spice, soft floral undertones. 21 years in new charred oak delivers extraordinary wood integration. E mash bill's lower rye allows oak to express fully
- Finish
- Long, elegant, and warming — oak and toffee sweetness persist with remarkable composure
