“Bourbon finished across Mizunara, French, and toasted American oak”
Tasting notes
- nose
- creamy, spicy, resinous from three virgin oaks — Mizunara, French, toasted American on straight bourbon
- palate
- oily barrel-soaked texture with green grape, red plum, ginger/Szechuan spice; wood-forward without losing fruit
- finish
- lingering resinous oak spice and dried fruit
Mash bill
A blend of several whiskeys, so no single grain split.
Blend of straight bourbons with cited Indiana, Tennessee, and Kentucky components — mash bills vary. Selected for wood affinity so Mizunara, French, and toasted American oak finishes read cleanly. Cooperage literacy over grain percentages is the mash pitch.
