Description
This remarkable cask-strength bourbon was distilled in 1996 and matured through 48 Kentucky seasons on the fifth floor of the famed Rickhouse Y in Bardstown. Patiently aged to develop exceptional depth and character, it represents the pinnacle of long-term bourbon maturation and careful barrel selection.
Bottled from a collection of just 68 hand-selected barrels, the release was divided into three exceptionally small batches of 22, 22, and 24 barrels, making it a rare and highly desirable expression for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
Rich and full-bodied, the whiskey delivers layers of thick toffee, molasses, vanilla fudge, and chocolate-covered toffee notes. Beneath its sweetness lies a sophisticated balance of exotic spices, ripe summer fruit, dusty corn, and subtle tobacco, creating a complex and harmonious flavor profile. The result is a bourbon of remarkable richness without sacrificing elegance or structure.
Its long, soothing finish lingers with warm oak, sweet confectionery notes, and gentle spice, showcasing the benefits of decades of careful aging. Mature, refined, and exceptionally well-balanced, this is a bourbon of true pedigree that stands as a testament to the art of Kentucky whiskey making.
