750 mL | 112 Proof (56% ABV) | Kentucky Straight Bourbon | Non-Age Stated | Finished in Toasted French Oak
Process & Profile
Brothers of the Leaf is a small-batch Kentucky straight bourbon crafted from a mash bill of 75% corn, 21% rye, and 4% malted barley. After initial aging in new charred American oak barrels, the bourbon undergoes a secondary maturation in toasted French oak casks, coopered by Kelvin Cooperage in Louisville, KY. This finishing imparts a rich layer of dark chocolate, roasted coffee, and exotic baking spices, adding continental complexity to a traditional American bourbon base.
Tasting Notes
-
Appearance: Deep amber with ruby undertones and long, slow legs—suggesting richness and structure.
-
Nose: Bold and luxurious. Espresso beans, toasted oak, and dark chocolate truffles rise first, followed by burnt orange peel, baking spice, and a whisper of dried fig.
-
Palate: Rich and full-bodied. The corn-forward sweetness is complemented by the rye’s peppery lift, while the French oak finish brings in elegant layers of mocha, nutmeg, clove, and charred vanilla. Mid-palate complexity unfolds with notes of toffee, leather, and spiced plum.
-
Finish: Long, dry, and warming. Lingering flavors of dark cocoa, roasted almonds, and spice cabinet fade into a gentle oaky warmth. The high proof adds structure but remains surprisingly smooth. What Makes It Special
