This is the 18th installment of the Limited Edition Small Batch series, and it's built around a blend of three distinct bourbon recipes drawn from four separate batches. At the core are two standout 13-year-old \"V\" yeast batches, prized for their delicate fruit character and sweet barrel-driven tones. Rounding out the blend is a bold 19-year-old OESV and OBSK component that adds depth, antique oak, and a layer of rye spice not found in the younger barrels alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" data-sourcepos=\"25:1-25:572;1318-1889\"\u003eBottled at true barrel strength and coming in at 109 proof, this is a bourbon meant to be savored slowly. It opens with a fruit-forward nose of ripe stone fruit and berries, layered with vanilla, caramel, and a whisper of aged oak. The palate carries that same fruit-driven sweetness through the mid-palate before the older barrels assert themselves with rye spice, leather, and dry oak on the finish. It's a bourbon that manages to feel both approachable and complex, with the 19-year-old component giving it a sense of maturity that younger limited releases often lack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" data-sourcepos=\"27:1-27:245;1891-2135\"\u003eOnly 16,854 bottles of the 2025 Limited Edition Small Batch were produced, making this a genuinely limited, once-a-year opportunity for bourbon collectors and enthusiasts alike. Once it's gone, it's gone until next year's blend takes its place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"border-border-200 border-t-0.5 my-3 mx-1.5\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\" data-sourcepos=\"31:1-31:18;2142-2159\"\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" data-sourcepos=\"33:1-33:121;2161-2281\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ripe stone fruit and berry compote lead the way, layered with vanilla, caramel, and a faint touch of aged oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" data-sourcepos=\"35:1-35:133;2283-2415\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e A wave of fruit-forward sweetness—apricot, berries, and vanilla—gives way to rye spice, brown sugar, and light oak char.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" data-sourcepos=\"37:1-37:127;2417-2543\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long and warming, with dry oak, a touch of leather, and lingering rye spice balanced by a hint of berry sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"border-border-200 border-t-0.5 my-3 mx-1.5\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\" data-sourcepos=\"41:1-41:18;2550-2567\"\u003eFood Pairings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\" data-sourcepos=\"43:1-46:86;2569-2959\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\" data-sourcepos=\"43:1-43:108;2569-2676\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAged cheddar or gouda\u003c\/strong\u003e — the barrel-strength proof and oak notes stand up well to sharp, aged cheeses.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\" data-sourcepos=\"44:1-44:85;2677-2761\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDark chocolate\u003c\/strong\u003e — complements the caramel and vanilla sweetness in the bourbon.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\" data-sourcepos=\"45:1-45:112;2762-2873\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrilled or smoked meats\u003c\/strong\u003e — brisket or smoked pork pair naturally with the rye spice and oak on the finish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\" data-sourcepos=\"46:1-46:86;2874-2959\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDried fruit and nuts\u003c\/strong\u003e — echoes the stone fruit character on the nose and palate.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\" data-sourcepos=\"48:1-48:24;2961-2984\"\u003eServing Suggestions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" data-sourcepos=\"50:1-50:308;2986-3293\"\u003eGiven its barrel strength, this bourbon is best enjoyed neat or with a few drops of water to open up the aroma and soften the proof.
