It is aged first in a #4 char, wood-fired toasted American oak barrel, then moved into a second new American oak barrel with a #1 char and heavy toast.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe brand honours Mary Dowling, the Irish immigrant who became one of the first women to own a distillery in Kentucky and kept her whiskey business alive through Prohibition. The double oak process creates deep notes of tobacco, dark cherry and chocolate while enhancing the classic caramel and vanilla of bourbon, and the barrel-strength release delivers bolder flavours at a higher proof.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExpect heavy nutmeg, cloves and wildflower honey on the nose, with cedar. The palate brings dark cherries, milk chocolate and roasted chestnuts, delicate cinnamon and a honeyed glaze, finishing on ground coffee and a cayenne tingle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe faceted bottle with its red label makes it a striking gift.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdd a few drops of water to open it up.\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 Nutmeg, cloves, wildflower honey and cedar.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dark cherry, milk chocolate, roasted chestnut and cinnamon.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ground coffee and a cayenne tingle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mary Dowling Whiskey Co.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, wheated, barrel strength\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExpression \/ Batch:\u003c\/strong\u003e Toasted Double Oak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 125 proof (62.5% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCask \/ Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e #4 char toasted oak, then #1 char heavy-toast new 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 with water on the side.
