World Whiskey Society 8 Year Bourbon Armagnac Cask Finish Reserve Collection 750mL

$169.99

The World Whiskey Society 8 Year Bourbon Armagnac Cask Finish from the Reserve Collection is a bold and sophisticated small-batch release that showcases the art of cask finishing. This limited-edition bourbon is aged for 8 years before being finished in rare Armagnac casks imported from France. The result is a luxurious whiskey that blends classic American bourbon character—rich with vanilla, caramel, and oak—with the deep, fruity elegance of aged Armagnac.

Bottled in a sleek, collectible decanter-style bottle, this release is as visually impressive as it is flavorful, making it ideal for both connoisseurs and collectors.

  • Finish: Long and warming, with lingering notes of spiced fruit compote, tobacco, and French oak.
