Tasting Notes and Characteristics:

On the palate Master’s Keep Beacon arrives warm and layered, with caramelized vanilla, toasted oak and orange peel that melt into a long, peppery finish and a subtle tobacco note; it feels broad and silky but still lively, perfect for slow sipping after a meal paired with pieces of dark chocolate or a sharp blue cheese. Bottled by Wild Turkey from their Kentucky distillery in the United States, it is crafted as a straight bourbon matured in charred new oak barrels and blended for balance rather than single-barrel claims; ABV 0.505 (50.5%).
