Indulge in a dessert-forward masterpiece with Pursuit United Double Oaked Bourbon. Crafted by the team behind the Bourbon Pursuit podcast, this release takes their award-winning "United" blend and elevates it with a decadent secondary finish. By exposing the whiskey to custom 36-month seasoned French Oak staves, Pursuit Spirits has created a profile that mimics the rich, butterscotch-heavy notes found in vintage "dusty" bottles.
The base is the signature "United" blend of three straight bourbons from Kentucky, Tennessee, and New York. After its initial aging, it undergoes a finishing process with medium-toasted French Oak, which imparts deep amber color and intense confectionary flavors without the harsh tannins of heavy char. Bottled at a robust 108 Proof (54% ABV), it offers a velvety texture that coats the palate in waves of caramelized sugar and spice.
