In terms of flavor profile, it is said to have a delicately layered and multifaceted taste that is highlighted by orange spice and chocolate, with delightful hints of vanilla and cherry providing a satisfying aroma. The spectacular quality of this straight bourbon whiskey is also the result of a carefully engineered wash carried out by Larry Sidor, co-founder of the Crux Fermentation Project, and meticulous distillation in American oak barrels on the part of Pursuit Distilling.
