- ABV

Tasting
How it drinks
- Sight
- Rich amber with warm copper highlights; the 10-12 year aging creates a deeper colour than the standard range
- Nose
- Round and sweet with caramel, vanilla, toffee, and corn. Sweet taffy, cherries, butterscotch, oak, and citrus. The barrel selection creates a more refined nose
- Palate
- Caramel and corn followed by vanilla, oak, clove, and rye notes. More complex and refined than No. 12 with better integration. The small-batch selection (10 barrels) provides consistency with character
- Finish
- Medium finish with balanced caramel, oak, and gentle spice. More depth than the standard range with a satisfying, well-rounded conclusion
Tasting notes are AI-assisted and still being refined.
Maturation
The wood it came through
- Hand-selected from 10 barrels aged 10-12 years
