Tasting Profile
Nosed and scored at cask strength, neat, in a tulip glass. Notes follow the order you will actually meet them in.
I
A delightful blend of bright fruit, including dates and cooked apples, mixed with a robust spice blend. You'll detect cinnamon and nutmeg, complemented by oak, creating a mulled wine-like aroma.
II
A rich, viscous texture that coats the mouth like velvet. It's like Christmas in a glass – think spiced cookies with a hint of molasses and compost topping. The palate also offers stewed fruits and dates, with a touch of fruit cake and classic Christmas spices, including a hint of star anise.
III
The finish brings darker flavors to the forefront, such as tobacco and green matcha tea, along with lingering spices.

The Barrel Story
Texas summers truly enhance these whiskeys. They're incredibly dark, reminiscent of light coffee, and surprisingly drinkable below their proof.
