Initially aged in new charred American oak, this Kentucky straight bourbon undergoes a secondary maturation in proprietary French fine grain oak barrels. These finishing casks, crafted from wood air-dried for 40 months near the Charente River, combine staves from prestigious French forests including Tronçais, Allier, Nevers, and Vosges. Bottled at 100.2 proof (50.1% ABV), each small batch undergoes signature filtration before release.
