Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Private Select barrel?

Why does warehouse location matter?
Upper-floor barrels like Warehouse K, Floor 5 experience greater temperature swings, accelerating oak interaction and developing bolder, more concentrated flavors.
How should I serve it?
Best neat or with a few drops of water to open up the complexity. A large ice cube also works well for a slower sip.
What size bottle is this?
This listing is for a 750ml bottle at 128.4 proof / 64.2% ABV.
