Named after the old 19th-century phrase for your absolute finest attire, this small-batch bourbon is truly something special. It spends its first six years maturing in classic charred oak barrels before transferring to a second, brand-new barrel that has been carefully smoked with sugar maple wood. This unique process wraps the robust, peppery spice of the high-rye recipe in a gentle blanket of sweet, savory wood smoke. Crafted to be exceptionally smooth and approachable, it is a wonderful find for winding down or sharing with good friends during a cozy evening.
