Dark Arts 7.5yr Bourbon Finished Toasted French Oak Staves

Dark Arts 7.5 Year Bourbon Finished with Toasted French Oak Staves is a masterclass in patience and craftsmanship. This bourbon begins its journey with a rich mash bill that develops complexity during more than seven years of aging in charred American oak barrels. During that time, it absorbs deep notes of vanilla, caramelized sugar, and toasted grain, forming the bold base of its flavor. The finishing touch comes through a secondary maturation with toasted French oak staves, which infuse layers of refined sweetness, spice, and silky texture.

The French oak finishing adds a distinct twist that separates Dark Arts from traditional bourbons. It introduces elegant aromas of honeycomb, baked apple, and cinnamon, balanced by undertones of cocoa and charred oak. On the palate, it opens with a burst of toffee and brown sugar before evolving into darker tones of espresso and smoked vanilla. The toasted staves lend a subtle warmth and dryness that linger long after each sip, offering a sophisticated finish that bourbon enthusiasts will appreciate.

This bourbon is designed for those who value both craftsmanship and complexity. Every element, from the extended aging process to the careful stave finishing, is done with precision to produce a whiskey that’s rich, layered, and undeniably smooth. Whether enjoyed neat, with a splash of water, or as the centerpiece of an elevated Old Fashioned, Dark Arts 7.5 Year Bourbon delivers a sensory experience that’s as bold as it is refined.
