The Wiseman Bourbon shows a deep amber hue. The nose first presents a sweet caramel aroma. This is followed by a warming allspice lift and a hint of oak. The palate is smooth and mildly silky. You will taste rich notes of caramel and allspice. A sprinkling of citrus and vanilla complement the core flavours. The finish is long, where the allspice and caramel notes linger warmly.
The blend includes four different straight bourbons. It features wheat and high-rye bourbons aged four years. It also includes sourced bourbons aged 5.5 and 8.5 years. This combination results in a bourbon that is both rich and accessible. Enjoy this sophisticated spirit neat or in an Old Fashioned.
