This whiskey was distilled in Tennessee and aged 15 years, including a year finishing in ex- Madeira casks, and bottled at cask strength. All that yields rich vanilla and red fruit aromas, and a citric, mouthwatering palate that suggests lemon peel and cranberry layered with toasted almond and oak, drying to leather and baking spices on the exhale. Limited release.

After 14 years in new oak and 1 year in madeira casks, the verdict is in: This whiskey is opulent and weighty, with a nose of cherry pie, sarsaparilla, and bracing ash. Raspberry jam and dark chocolate lead the sip with chile pepper spice and charred bell peppers in support. With time, the whiskey’s sweeter elements take center stage, with cherry cordials and cinnamon candies leading to a long dark chocolaty finish buttressed by charred oak.
