“Proof-managed double new-oak single barrel — toasted caramel layer at ~112 proof”
Tasting notes
- nose
- maple sugar, toffee, caramel from the second new-oak term — toasted sweetness without candy-bomb excess
- palate
- brown sugar and vanilla into heavy baking spice, leather, aged oak; proof-managed double oak keeps heat in check
- finish
- sweet-spice fade with leather and toasted caramel
Mash bill
- Corn72%
- Rye13%
- Malted barley15%
72% corn / 13% rye / 15% malted barley — same malt-heavy Kentucky bill as sister Hirsch singles. The elevated malted barley softens spice and supports toasted caramel when the secondary new-oak char hits; secondary oak builds wood flavor without changing the grain recipe, so the mash story is malt-forward Kentucky distillate meeting managed double oak.
- Cask
- Double new American oak (primary char #3; secondary custom char)
- Finish
- Secondary new American oak after primary maturation; proof lowered before re-barreling
