The Holladay Ancient Cave Collection showcases bourbon that first matures in new, level-three-charred white oak barrels for a minimum of six years in Rickhouse B or C. After aging, select barrels from the first floor undergo a secondary finishing process to explore different taste profiles. The Ancient Cave, a historic structure from 1837, features 72 ricks for aging these experimental barrels at a steady 60 degrees. Available exclusively at the Weston, Missouri-based distillery, bottles from this collection are priced at $45 per 375-milliliter bottle. This particular expression was finished in seasoned French oak barrels with a level one char and heavy toast.

Spicy on the nose, loaded with cream, honey, cracked pepper, candied ginger, caramel corn and a touch of oak.
Rich on the palate, a good deal of oak, candied ginger again, loaded with spice, some cinnamon and more cracked pepper.
Long finish, spicy and sweet, loaded with char, caramel and maple.
Delicious and a spiritual giant compared to other French Oak matured whiskeys I’ve had. Delightful.
