How to Enjoy

Pour this bourbon neat in a Glencairn or tulip glass to appreciate the full aroma and intensity. Consider adding a teaspoon of water or one large ice cube if the proof is too bold. Ideal with rich desserts (dark chocolate), roasted nuts or a fine cigar to complement its robust character. Best sipped slowly—this is a contemplative whiskey for serious bourbon lovers.
