Flavor Profile Differences

- Praedictum 15 Year: A 15-year, barrel-proof Kentucky bourbon from the Foley family's spirits group, picked and blended by their master distiller. Cherry, maple and spice, finishing on root beer and mint.
Which One Should You Choose?
- Go with Jack Daniel’s 10 Year if you want an older, oak-forward Jack Daniel's with dark fruit and cocoa at a significantly lower price point.
- Go with Praedictum 15 Year if you want a 15-year, barrel-proof Kentucky bourbon with cherry, maple and mint with an older age statement.
