This cask-strength blend showcases the expertise of High West Distillery in blending select straight bourbons to create a whiskey that is both complex and robust. With proof levels ranging from 120 to 132, this release offers a potent yet balanced profile that maintains smoothness and depth.

On the nose, this cask-strength bourbon presents an inviting bouquet of caramelized sugar and toasted oak, underpinned by subtle hints of dark fruit reminiscent of ripe cherries and plums. The influence of the barrel is evident but not overpowering, allowing nuances such as vanilla bean and a whisper of cinnamon to emerge.

Upon tasting, one immediately perceives a bold yet balanced profile. The proof level—equating to 58.7% alcohol by volume—delivers an initial warmth that gradually unfolds into layers of complexity. Notes of caramel and seasoned wood are prominent on the palate, complemented by undertones of spice and a slight nuttiness likely attributable to its time spent maturing in charred oak barrels.
