A cask-strength bourbon from Savage & Cooke, this single-cask bottling was finished in a Petit Sirah cask for a retailer-exclusive release. That finishing step is intended to layer bourbon’s familiar vanilla, caramel, and oak with darker fruit and wine-influenced richness.
At 56.0% ABV, expect a fuller, more concentrated style than standard-strength bourbon. For newer drinkers, a small splash of water may help open it up and soften the intensity.
