CLIMATE

Humidity hangs heavy at our campus in Frankfort, seeming to slow the passage of time itself. It only makes the whiskey better.

PLACE

There's less ventilation in the rackhouses in Frankfort, which allows the liquid to age at its own pace and take on a subtle campfire and cigar box nose.

TASTE

Taste the rich yet floral tobacco notes that humidity and time imbue. It may be aged for 17 years, but its soul is even older.
