At least five years old and bottled at 95.2 proof, each batch is made from 50 barrels or fewer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eForbidden breaks with bourbon convention: its mash bill of white corn, white winter wheat and malted barley is fermented at a low temperature, a 'low and slow' approach that develops more esters in the mash. The wheat leans the whiskey sweeter, giving a soft, gourmand bourbon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExpect vanilla bean and crème brûlée on the nose, with dried fruit, hazelnut, light citrus and gentle layered spice. The palate brings caramel, citrus oil and delicate florals with baking spice, oak sugar and a soft, chewy sweetness, and the finish is creamy and sweet, with oak and spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe faceted bottle with its gem-like silhouette makes it a beautiful gift.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEnjoy it neat or with a single ice cube.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBourbon must be made in the United States from a mash of at least 51% corn and aged in new charred oak containers, and straight bourbon must be aged at least two years. Those rules give bourbon its characteristic sweetness, with caramel and vanilla drawn from the charred barrels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vanilla bean, crème brûlée, dried fruit and hazelnut.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Caramel, citrus oil, florals, baking spice and oak sugar.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Creamy and sweet, with oak and spice.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Forbidden (Marianne Eaves)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, wheated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExpression \/ Batch:\u003c\/strong\u003e Small Batch, Batch 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e At least 5 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 95.2 proof (47.6% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCask \/ Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e New charred American oak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kentucky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe it neat or on a single ice cube.
