This 86-proof whiskey, presented in a 700ml bottle at 43% ABV, is created through a "Triple Barrel" process that involves aging in new American oak barrels before being divided into three distinct paths: 63% in Madeira barrels, 30% in Sauternes barrels, and 7% in Port barrels. These components are expertly blended to produce a symphony of flavors that captivate the senses.

The first release of their 10-year-old rye whiskey, finished in ex-bourbon and virgin oak casks, received a record 96-point score from Wine Enthusiast.
