Four used Bowman barrels aged the brewery's Foolery Imperial Milk Stout, and six aged their Gingerbread Stout, each for eight months. The barrels were then re-used to finish nine year old bourbon.

Tasting Notes

"The nose offers cloves, gingersnap cookies, brown sugar, and both chocolate and vanilla. The palate starts with more traditional bourbon flavors, with rich vanilla, oak, and spice. Those added flavors kick back in on a short, smooth finish, with a flourish of chocolate followed by baking spices. Unless you knew this was "gingerbread cocoa finished," you wouldn't necessarily know, but nonetheless, a flavorful, tasty, rich bourbon."
