After the usual aging time, this Bourbon is then moved to a heavily-toasted, lightly-charred barrel to extract additional oak flavor. The end result is deep amber in the glass, with bright spice cake and baked apple fragrance. On the palate, it's lightly sweet at first, showing creamy caramel, but finishes dry, with touches of espresso, oak and Baker's chocolate. Overall, a bold, flavorful sipper.

A Woodford bourbon aged for 2 years beyond the normal 6-7, the final 2 in heavily toasted, lightly charred barrels to create a dark, spicy, "deep cut" profile. Fresh and aromatic, with cinnamon spice, sweet oak, and sweet corn on the nose. Bold flavors on the palate though lightly structured, with sweet coffee, caramel, and pepper spice. Dark flavors on the finish of espresso, chocolate, caramel, burnt marshmallow, and oak.
