Old Charter French Oak Whisky 750 ml

Old Charter is a historic Kentucky bourbon brand now owned by Sazerac, and this French Oak bottling finishes the standard bourbon with additional French oak influence rather than relying solely on the new American oak barrel required for straight bourbon. That extra wood contact typically pushes the profile toward more spice and tannin than the standard release. Expect caramel and vanilla up front from the base bourbon, with baking spice and a drier, more tannic edge from the French oak finishing, closing on a warm, moderately long finish. It's a variation on a familiar Kentucky bourbon rather than a wholly new whiskey.

How to drink Old Charter French Oak

Neat is the fairest way to catch the added oak spice; save it from cola or heavy mixers that would bury the finishing note.
