Serving Recommendations & Pairings

• Best neat in a tulip or Glencairn-style glass to focus the oak, vanilla, and spice.
• Add a small splash of water to open up the caramel and soften the oak edge from long aging.
• Cocktail: Try a spirit-forward Old Fashioned with a light hand on the sugar so the 15-year oak character stays in front.
• Food pairing: Pairs beautifully with a charcuterie board featuring aged gouda and prosciutto, plus toasted pecans.
