Tasting Profile & Food Pairings
Taste Notes
- Nose: Elegant and fruit-forward. Aromas of baked strawberry, plum, and dark cherry are layered with roasted nuts, milk chocolate, and vanilla bean.
- Palate: Full-bodied and "Bourbon Noir" in character. It delivers rich caramel, fig, and blackberry jam, with a complex mid-palate of cinnamon, cocoa, and toasted oak.
- Finish: Long and sophisticated. The Cabernet influence shines through with a lightly tannic structure, finishing with notes of tobacco leaf, burnt brown sugar, and a lingering dark fruit sweetness.
Food Pairings
- Savory: Herb-Crusted Lamb Lollipops or Duck Confit. The wine tannins and dark berry notes in the bourbon are a classic match for gamey meats and rich reductions.
- Cheese: Aged Clothbound Cheddar or Gorgonzola Dolce. The sharpness of the cheddar stands up to the 108 proof, while the sweeter blue cheese mirrors the plum and honey notes of the finish.
- Sweet: Dark Chocolate Lava Cake or Cherry Tart. The cocoa and black cherry profile of the spirit acts as a natural accompaniment to dense, dark fruit-based desserts.
About the brand

Their Collaborative Series is a prestigious line where they partner with world-class wine and spirits producers.
