In the past we have aged Pandemic for about 6-9 months and then blended it with fresh Southern Belle to create a big, boozy, and rich concoction. This time around, we’ve taken it a bit further using Pandemic that aged for almost a year and a half in order to pull every drop from it’s rye barrel captors. We then blended it with fresh Ebony and Ivory to add additional chocolate notes and rounded vanilla character to the big roasty rye facets derived from the barrel. This is a great bottle to lay down and cellar, or share with family and friends over the holidays, the choice is yours.

From a 22 oz bottle at the WWWW RB tasting it is a dark brown color black with a slight head. The aroma is bourbonesque and the taste is a strong sweet bourbon
