Dark Arts The Empyrean 7.5yr Bourbon
The Empyrean is a union of bourbon aged in both red port and white port casks, finished separately and blended in secret to create a whiskey of uncommon depth and intensity. One brings bright fruit and floral light; the other, deep sweetness and shadows. Together, they smolder.
NOSE
Bright and layered, with new tobacco leaf up front, wrapped in sticky baked goods and light brown sugar. A savory hint of BBQ honeydew and grilled melon adds depth — ripe fruit kissed by smoke.
PALATE
A burst of baking spice — allspice and anise leading — gives way to a wave of confectioner’s sugar. Oily and coating, it rolls across the tongue with torched orchard fruit and caramelized richness.
FINISH
Long and creamy, the finish lingers with a soft, lactose-like smoothness. Tobacco, leather, and a final flicker of spice rise at the end, leaving behind structure and resonance.
