Some of the best spirits come from compromise, and this cask-strength release proves it. Nashville Barrel Company contributes a 9-year Indiana bourbon, while Nashtucky Whiskey Co. adds a 7-year Kentucky rye, blended in an even 50/50 split. The result bridges rich caramel and vanilla sweetness with bold rye spice. Toasted oak, brown sugar, and dark cherry lead the nose, while an oily palate of toffee, peppercorn, and cinnamon carries into a long, warming finish of leather and spice.
