Oak & Eden In-Bottle Finished Whiskey
Wood infuses most of the taste in our whiskey, making the barrel aging process essential. Oak & Eden has taken this process one step further, building on the flavor by adding a hand-placed, seasoned and toasted spire of wood into each bottle. The spire finishes the whiskey inside the bottle for 6 weeks, imparting a unique and aromatic finish for a deeper, richer taste. Oak & Eden offers a full line of bourbon and rye whiskey and each bottle arrives with the spire included to perfect each creation.
