Barrel Exploration

The whiskey's maturation takes place in new, charred, white American oak barrels. But the adventure doesn't end there – it also undergoes a finishing touch in French oak barrels that previously held vermouth and Syrah wine, infusing it with unique and nuanced flavors.

The nose is a symphony of enticing scents, including the inviting warmth of cinnamon stick, the fruity allure of dried apricot, and the richness of dark chocolate infused with cherry cordial. Hints of dried sage, brown sugar, and toasted nut brittle add layers of complexity.
