The award-winning Bourbon, the story of the Company started with. New oak barrels are fired for 40 seconds to achieve a Level 3 char: creating rich, aromatic layers that give the Small Batch its signature warm spice & subtle smoke flavor. Left to toast over an open flame for a precise amount of time, they can add even more sweet oak complexity to the Bourbon. Handcrafted by the Master Distillers, it’s a favorite of Bourbon connoisseurs and casual whiskey fans alike. The tasting notes present pure sweetness, honey, marzipan, and wildflower notes. The sweet drive is nicely backed with drying oak on the pronounced finish. It is perfect both for cocktails and with ice.
