The result is a rich, full-bodied spirit that showcases the best of what bourbon has to offer.
What sets this bourbon apart is its unique finishing process. After an initial aging period in new American oak barrels, the bourbon is transferred to Pedro Ximénez (PX) brandy casks for additional maturation. These casks, renowned for their use in aging some of the world's finest sherries, impart a depth and complexity to the bourbon that is truly extraordinary. The influence of the PX brandy cask adds layers of dried fruit, rich caramel, and subtle spice, enhancing the bourbon's natural character and creating a harmonious blend of flavors.
