ABOUT

Hailing from Kentucky’s storied rickhouses, this single-barrel stunner, aged 9 years and 4 months, roars at a fiery 127.88 proof. Handpicked by Rare Character’s Pablo Moix and Pete Nevenglosky, it’s a wheated bourbon that swaps rye for wheat, delivering a silky, dessert-like depth. Bottled without chill filtration, every drop bursts with bold, unfiltered character—think creamy sweetness tangled with spice. Sip it neat to wrestle its full might, or add a splash to tame the beast.

TASTING NOTES

Nose: Caramel nougat spills out, rich with vanilla wafer and cherry skins. Leather and woodshop dust add a gritty edge. It’s a sweet, bold tease.

Palate: Milk chocolate and molasses flood in, joined by cinnamon and creamy vanilla bean. Tangy barbecue sauce sparks a savory twist.

Finish: Dark cherry and tart orange linger, easing into a long, oaky warmth that begs another pour.

FOOD PAIRING

Ready to feast? Pair this bourbon with grilled ribeye—the richness loves the char. Want a bite? Try aged gouda; it sharpens the sweetness. For dessert, a cinnamon roll echoes the palate’s spice. Feeling wild? Smoked ribs with a tangy glaze turn it into a flavor stampede.
