FAQ:
Q: Is this finished in bourbon barrels?
A: Yes—it’s aged in used bourbon barrels and then finished in new charred American oak, much like bourbon itself, giving it a sweeter, bolder character.
Q: Is it good for bourbon drinkers?
A: Absolutely. This is often recommended as a “gateway Scotch” for bourbon lovers due to its oak-forward, vanilla-heavy profile.
Q: Is it smoky?
A: No—this is a non-peated, smooth single malt with sweet and spicy notes, not smoke or iodine.
