Distilled from a mashbill of 75% corn, 21% rye and 4% malted barley, this bourbon is finished in small batches using what the brand describes as its "signature Blackwood toasting process." That process involves a finish in three new toasted barrels from Kelvin Cooperage: a medium toast (no char) barrel, a char 4 barrel with toasted heads and a char 2 barrel with toasted heads. This bourbon has a suggested retail price of $159. Blackwood is available in Kentucky, Florida, Texas, Wyoming and Washington, D.C., or in 40 states via online ordering.

Pleasant, sweet nose with a bit of heat. Butterscotch, cherry candies, peach rings, cream cheese icing and a touch of melon.
Really delicious, sweet palate with a good deal going on. Oak and barrel char meet cherry, orange peel, butterscotch, ash and a kiss of spearmint.
Long, complex finish. Plenty of pepper, cinnamon and clove meet more butterscotch, oak and tannin and a hint of hazelnunt.
Delicious bourbon. This is my first taste of Blackwood, and I'm quite impressed. Candied stone fruit and spice play well together.
