Vantage is a blend of straight bourbons finished in three distinct expressions of virgin oak: Mizunara, French, and toasted American oak casks. The result is a warm, elegant bourbon that highlights the many dimensions of oak.
Each component whiskey in Vantage is finished separately, focusing on the wood characteristics and the specific flavor contributions that each cask contributes to the blend. The result is a masterfully blended, perfectly balanced representation of the harmonious synergy between bourbon and barrel.
Selected Mizunara, French, and toasted American oak casks create multifaceted dimensions to this unique blend. The unique aspects of each wood and treatment are layered atop one another, precluding the singular taste of oak. The nose is creamy, spicy, and resinous, and the palate is richly textured and oily, soaked with barrel influence.
BarrellĀ Vantage Tasting Notes:
Color:Ā Burnt sienna.
Aroma: Creme brĆ»lĆ©e, coconut oil, and chocolate pudding invoke the creamy richness of toasted American oak. Tarragon, nutmeg, and warm cola are among the dry, extractive spices highlighting the French oak. Mizunaraās incense and grilled pineapple notes take the profile in a totally different direction.
Palate: Sweet and oily with a pronounced espresso note. Itās pleasantly rich on the tongue, which obscures much of the tannin ā surprising given how much wood is present. The
French oakās robust spice notes inflect a maple syrup sweetness.
Finish: Green grapes and red plums burst above the barrel notes for the first time. Itās spicy, too, with zaāatar, crystallized ginger and Szechuan peppercorns.
With a splash of spring water: The nose grows earthier, exhibiting graham cracker and dark chocolate. The spiritās rye grain emerges, not just with pumpernickel but also celery and chive blossom. The palate grows sweeter, tasting of maraschino liqueur and pavlova. It finishes on grapefruit zest and kola nut.
