Nose
Pronounced rickhouse funk with aged warehouse character. Toffee and orange peel emerge clearly. Lighter overall expression than Series 9. Evokes a spilled bourbon on a rickhouse floor.
Palate
Cherry, dark berries, and orange slice burst forward with impressive expression. Subtle nuttiness on the tail. Integrated flavors that speak to multiple components without harshness. Excellent cohesion and balance.
Finish
Long, evolving finish that returns the nose and integrates all flavor elements smoothly. No burn despite proof.
Excellent
A complex, expressive blend where rickhouse funk, fruit, spice, and wood notes integrate seamlessly—this is an elevated Wild Turkey-style pour with exceptional balance.
