Caribbean Blaze Bourbon 46

Tasting Notes

This robust bourbon presents a deep amber color with golden reflections. The nose is intense and inviting, revealing aromas of caramel, toasted oak, vanilla bean, and subtle hints of dried fruit and baking spices. On the palate, it delivers a full-bodied experience with flavors of butterscotch, dark chocolate, and gentle tobacco notes. The elevated 46% ABV provides exceptional depth and warmth without overpowering the delicate balance of flavors. The finish is long and satisfying, with lingering notes of oak, cinnamon, and a touch of citrus.

Distillation & Aging Process

Crafted using traditional methods at a small-batch Kentucky distillery, this bourbon is made from a proprietary mash bill that emphasizes corn for sweetness while maintaining a balanced rye content for complexity. Distilled in copper pot stills and aged for 12 years in new charred American oak barrels, it develops remarkable depth and character. The barrels are stored in the upper floors of the rickhouse where temperature variations accelerate the aging process, extracting maximum flavor from the wood. Bottled at 46% ABV (92 proof), it strikes the perfect balance between intensity and drinkability.

Serving & Pairing Suggestions

Best enjoyed in a rocks glass with a single large ice cube to slightly open up the flavors while maintaining the spirit's integrity. For a more intense experience, try it neat at room temperature. This bourbon makes an exceptional base for classic cocktails like the Old Fashioned, Manhattan, or Boulevardier. It pairs beautifully with dark chocolate, aged cheeses, or a quality cigar. The elevated ABV makes it particularly versatile for both sipping and mixing, as it holds its own against other cocktail ingredients without becoming diluted.
