How to Enjoy
-
Neat or with a few drops of water in a tulip or Glencairn glass to open up oak and spice.
-
On the rocks: a large cube can soften intensity while preserving flavor.
-
Signature cocktails: Old Fashioned or Rye Manhattan with this as the centerpiece. You could also use it in limited quantity in rich cocktails where you want both flavor and proof.
-
Gift / Display: Because of its “piggy bank” bottle, this is ideal for holidays, celebrations, or collectors.
