Flaviar - Broken Barrel Limited Release Cask Strength Bourbon Whiskey Finish with Port Staves 116 Proof 750 ml

A bold and inventive expression, this limited-edition cask strength bourbon is crafted from a 70% corn, 21% rye, and 9% malted barley mash bill. After initial aging in new American oak, the whiskey is finished using a unique "oak bill" of broken staves—80% port wine cask and 20% French oak—infused directly into the aging vessel, creating a deep, complex flavor experience.
