The star of this collaboration is a 13-year-old bourbon. Aged to perfection in new charred oak barrels, it boasts a complex flavor profile with notes of caramel, vanilla, and oak, combined with a subtle hint of baking spices. This bourbon is a true testament to the patience and skill required to create a fine spirit.
The 9-year-old rye, also a part of the collection, is equally impressive. With its distinctive spiciness, balanced with the sweetness of the rye grain, this whiskey showcases the versatility of rye whiskey production in Anderson County. Both whiskeys are meticulously handcrafted and bottled at a barrel strength to preserve their unique character and flavors.
