Blackened X Wes Henderson Whiskey 750mL

White Port casks give this BLACKENED collaboration a fruit-and-honey accent over six-year Kentucky bourbon. Bottled at cask strength, it combines ripe pear with cinnamon, vanilla and a long, viscous finish.

Key details

• Kentucky straight bourbon finished in White Port wine casks
• 6 years old before finishing
• 116.2 proof / 58.1% ABV
• 750 mL bottle

Flavor profile

Pear, raisin, cinnamon and cigar-box aromas lead into honey, vanilla and walnut.

Pairing & serving

Try neat with toasted walnuts or pear tart, then add water gradually.

After opening & when to enjoy

Keep upright, tightly closed, away from heat and sunlight. The spirit is ready to enjoy and does not continue barrel aging in the bottle. After opening, aim to enjoy within about a year for the freshest aroma, especially as the bottle empties.
