What Makes It Special

Toasted barrels (as opposed to charred barrels) impart sweeter, more nuanced oak flavors – think vanilla, caramel, and baking spices rather than smoke and char. This finishing technique allows the bourbon’s natural sweetness to shine while adding complexity from the wood.

ASW’s toasted bourbon demonstrates how innovative barrel treatments can create distinctive expressions that stand apart from traditional bourbon. It’s a perfect choice for those who love sweet, oak-forward bourbons but want something smoother and more refined than heavily charred barrel expressions.
