Final Thoughts
This cask strength release showcases the whiskey in its purest form, often bottled at over 55% ABV. The nose bursts with intense aromas of brown sugar, black pepper, orange peel, and toasted oak. The palate is bold and powerful, delivering flavors of caramelized sugar, cinnamon, tobacco, espresso, and rye grain with heat that builds in waves. The finish is long and fiery, with lingering oak, spice, and dark fruit. Best with a few drops of water to unlock hidden layers, it pairs with grilled steak, smoked brisket, or rich chocolate cake.
