“

The whiskey that taught America to love bourbon. Its soft, wheated profile is the definitive entry point for luxury American spirits, offering a sweetness that is both approachable and deeply satisfying.

The Library Note

Bill Samuels Sr. changed the course of bourbon history by burning the family's 170-year-old recipe and starting fresh with a focuses on 'deliciousness.' To this day, every bottle is hand-dipped in Loretto, Kentucky, making each one a unique piece of craftsmanship.

Sommelier's Perspective

THE NOSE

Honeyed wheat, toasted oak, and spiced fruit.

THE FINISH

Clean, smooth, and remarkably soft with a warming oak glow.
