Dark Arts 11 Year Bourbon - Drums and Drams & Bourbon Outfitter (113.82 Proof)

Mashbill: 60% corn / 36% rye / 4% malted barley

This one is for the cream soda lovers! Cream soda, vanilla, and smarties candy combine for a sweet top layer, punctuated by effervescent spice and orange peel. There’s a caramel backbone underneath that adds density, and a slight toasted oak element in the background too. The overall oak profile of the whiskey is a sweet one, not funky or earthy, so this will appeal to those with a sweet tooth who like candied profiles with driving spice. The palate is full-bodied with effervescent/prickly rye spice, bringing the high rye aspect of this whiskey to the forefront which carries through to a long finish. Dark Arts always manages to source some of the best barrels of this particular mash bill, so fans of this mash who like that effervescent sweet cream soda profile will love this barrel!
