Old Charter Oak Chinkapin Oak Barrel Aged Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 750ml

Product Description

In 1874 Adam and Ben Chapeze gave birth to the now famous Old Charter whiskey brand. Named in honor of arguably the most well-known white oak tree in America, the brand name symbolizes the pivotal role that oak barrels play in the making of great American whiskey. Old Charter Oak reveals the hidden flavors in a wide array of oaks as they influence this diverse collection of bourbon whiskeys. This bourbon earned much of its character while aging for nine years in special barrels made from Chinkapin Oak trees. Prior to being assembled into barrels, the oak staves from these tall trees air-dried for two years, far longer than the industry-standard three months. As the bourbon matured at Buffalo Trace Distillery, the flavors from the oak became more complex, developed by the climate and changing seasons. The result is a bourbon uniquely shaped by the barrel, with notes of cherries and spearmint, a palate of fresh herbs and honey, with a finish of warm baking spices and dark chocolate.
