Tasting Notes

The uncut, unfiltered version of the same 12-year Heaven Hill juice, and the intensity is the whole point. Thick fudge and char with cinnamon heat, a genuinely long finish, and enough proof that water meaningfully changes the glass.

Nose

dark caramel, toasted oak, cherry, cinnamon

Palate

thick fudge, char, cinnamon red-hots, dark chocolate

Finish

very long, hot, oak and cocoa

Best enjoyed neat.
