Tasting
How it drinks
- Sight
- Deep amber with rich copper tones; the darkest core expression, reflecting 11+ years of aging at full barrel strength
- Nose
- Marzipan, caramel, roasted corn, baking spices, and cherries. S'mores, snickerdoodle, and a sugary maple bar. Vanilla, oak, and light mint
- Palate
- Subtle nuttiness, honey, vanilla, leather, oak, orange zest, black pepper, and baking chocolate. Thick mouthfeel. Each barrel is hand-chosen by Victoria Eady Butler — flavor varies batch to batch. Cask strength captures every nuance. The most distinct flavor profile in the Uncle Nearest range
- Finish
- Long and warm finish with oak, almond, and lingering caramel. Smooth despite the high proof
Tasting notes are AI-assisted and still being refined.
Maturation
The wood it came through
