FAQ:
Q: Is this an artificially flavored bourbon?
A: No—it gets its flavor from carefully toasted barrel finishing, not from added flavorings. The marshmallow profile comes naturally from the oak interaction.
Q: Can I sip it neat?
A: Yes—though barrel strength, it's surprisingly smooth, and a splash of water enhances the toasted sweetness beautifully.
Q: How limited is it?
A: Extremely—each Private Batch is a small run with varying toasting profiles, so no two batches are exactly alike.
Q: Best way to enjoy it?
A: Neat, with a cube, or in a decadent Old Fashioned. Also pairs wonderfully with s’mores or crème brûlée.
