Oak & Eden Bourbon & Vine is a bourbon finished in the bottle with a spiral-cut spire of French oak steeped in Cabernet Sauvignon, bottled at 90 proof (45% ABV).
Bourbon & Vine was Oak & Eden's first small-batch expression and a clear fan favorite, so the Texas brand brought it back for a second edition. It starts with bourbon aged two years in new charred American oak barrels, producing a rich, deep and sweet yet slightly spicy spirit.
Then comes the magic: a 5-inch spiral-cut piece of French oak that rested in Marker Cellars' Cabernet Sauvignon is placed in every bottle, so the whiskey keeps finishing in-bottle. The result layers caramel, vanilla, oak and spice with red fruit and wine, closing on Cabernet, candied fruit and vanilla.
Every bottle carries its own visible wood spire, which makes it a conversation-starting gift.
Bourbon 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.
Finishing in the bottle means the whiskey keeps interacting with the wood as long as it sits on the shelf.
Oak & Eden's spire method gives each bottle a visible piece of the finishing wood.
The Cabernet-steeped oak brings a wine-country touch to a classic American bourbon.
Pour a glass alongside a glass of Cabernet to taste how the two share red fruit and oak.
