Our Six-Year New York Bourbon Whiskey wason Juneteenth, 2024 to honor founder Dawn O'Neal's family history and resilience and celebrate the growing diversity, artistry, and complexity of whiskey.
Our 6-Year New York Bourbon is a sipper with a distinctive nose of apricot, anise, sugar cane, and chamomile. On the palate, it’s a harmonious blend of smoothness and mellow flavors, with discernible notes of cherry, almonds, and croissants. It's a well-balanced pour with a velvety mouthfeel and an inviting, slow-building heat that fades to a burst of juicy fruit.
