Dark Arts Barely French Oak Stave Finished Small Batch Bourbon

Tasting Notes

Hinterhaus Dark Arts Bourbon is a fascinating experiment, transforming sourced high-rye bourbon with a touch of French royalty. Finished with staves from the Jupilles forest – oak coveted by French winemakers for centuries – this small batch release offers a unique profile. Expect spiced caramel and red fruit on the nose, leading to a palate of sweet raspberry, toasted oak, and a hint of tres leche. The creamy finish reveals toffee, vanilla, and a whisper of cold smoke. It's a well-balanced and approachable bourbon, where the French oak influence adds complexity without overpowering the underlying spice.
