A collaboration between Kentucky Bourbon-distiller Fred Noe and chief blender Shinji Fukoyo of Japan's Suntory, this Bourbon is partially finished in wine and Sherry casks. The result is a caramel-rich nose and palate that reads almost like dulce de leche with a pleasantly silky texture. There's a hint of dried fruit and spice on the exit. - KARA NEWMAN

Golden amber color. Aromas and flavors of grilled corn, toasted peanuts, nougat, hints of white flowers, and milk chocolate with a velvety, vibrant, fruity light-to-medium body and a sleek, complex, medium-long finish that shows shades of dark chocolate studded with almonds. A rock solid bourbon with a classic flavor profile and a big chocolate-y finish
