KEEPER'S SELECT · THE FIRST DISCOVERY
Grape Awakening
A barrel forgotten to time. A chance discovery. One unmistakable first taste. What was expected to be a short barrel became more than 130 bottles across cask-strength and proofed expressions.
THE STORY
Bold. Unafraid. Awakening.
Buried in a stack of other barrels and discovered almost on a whim, the first sample gave an immediate impression: explosive, sweet, spicy, and waiting to be released. Its grape-brandy finish separated it from a typical finished bourbon, and its unexpectedly generous yield gave the Keeper room to preserve the barrel in more than one form.
