A blend of two bourbons of 8 and 15 years old. Incredibly sweet and filled with fruit, this is a healthy, unctuous mix of apple, orange, cherry, and banana notes, a veritable slot machine that’s filtered through notes of tea leaf and cola. Time in glass allows aromas of white pepper to emerge. On the palate, the fruit is enduring and candylike, pairing with the cola notes to create something of a Cherry Coke character — spicy and sweet. Notes of cinnamon and ginger bring up the rear and race this whiskey toward a spice-forward conclusion that reminds one of the patisserie, laced with notes of chocolate, walnuts, and cookie dough. Touches of anise ring around the edges. Lots to love here from top to bottom.

A blend of ryes from Kentucky, Indiana, and Tennessee at ages 6, 7, and 9 years old. Initially a bit quiet on the nose, showing gentle notes of caraway and toasted rye bread — though at the same time, it’s also gently fruity with aromas of cinnamon-dusted raisins, clove-studded oranges, and banana chips. There’s plenty of spice on the palate...A punch of allspice and clove slide the whiskey into bolder black pepper notes before easing up to eventually allow some fruit back into the picture, here delivering spiced apple and a slightly floral pear note. Things build to a crescendo as the finish arrives, finally segueing into notes of fresh tobacco, some barrel char, and a reprise of caraway.
