Blended Straight Whiskey

$125
Blend of four different whiskeys: 2-year-old Kentucky straight bourbon, 3-year-old 100% malted rye whiskey, 5-year-old Kentucky straight bourbon, 15-year-old Kentucky straight bourbon
Nose
Caramel and butterscotch, richer and sweeter than Chapter 1, floral notes, aged oak character, less malted barley expression than Chapter 1, deep dark rose aroma
Palate
Buttery caramel and butterscotch character, less aggressive spice than Chapter 1, smoother and more approachable, malted rye spice comes through subtly, thicker liquid with significant viscosity, more typical bourbon-leaning flavor profile, well-balanced sweetness
Finish
Flavorful and longer than Chapter 1, buttery coating that persists on the mouth, medium-length finish with lingering caramel notes, less intense alcohol burn than Chapter 1
Recommended
A refined and buttery blended whiskey that bridges bourbon and rye traditions with aged oak smoothness and extended finish, more approachable than its predecessor.
