The robust oak and toffee from this 2016 bourbon deftly marries with our hallmark Ruby Port characters. The new addition of Tawny Port-finished bourbon provides the nutty, caramelized fruit character that acts as a bridge between the two flavor profiles. By balancing the bright red berry acidity with the brooding sweetness of dried fruit, weve worked to introduce a fresh dimension to this years Cask Strength program.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Caramelized notes of brown sugar and butterscotch open up into stone fruit, pear, and spice.
• Palate: Crisp apple crumble and buttery pie crust balance darker notes of chocolate, oak, and cinnamon honey. Both nutty and floral.
• FInish: Pleasant and long. Oak tannins mingle with rich port and bright fruits to deliver a sweet and spiced finale.
