Captain's Table Batch #5 Cask Strength, Straight Bourbon

For Release #5 of Star Trek Spirits Captain’s Table, we proudly present a Cask Strength, Straight Bourbon, distilled in 2020, with a commanding 123.2 proof.

On the nose, embark on a sensory journey with harmonious aromas of butterscotch and almonds, intertwined with the robust scent of toasted oak. These aromas set the stage for a stellar tasting expedition, inviting you to delve deeper into the complex flavors.

On the palate, toasted nuts and vanilla orbit a core of luscious butterscotch, while waves of baking spices, rich chocolate, and caramel add complexity and depth. Subtle notes of brown sugar and maple provide a grounding sweetness, creating a balanced and intricate flavor profile.

The finish is long and enduring, with complex flavors lingering on the palate. Each note resonates with a smoothness that defies the usual expectations of a cask strength bourbon. This exquisite balance is a testament to the precise mashing of corn, malted barley, and Sonora wheat, coupled with a clean six-week fermentation process and double distillation in a venerable copper pot still from Cognac, France.

Barreled in new American oak from Canton Cooperage in Lebanon, Kentucky, cured outdoors for 36 months with a #3 char, Batch #5 has been meticulously crafted throughout its production and aging. The result is a fascinating expression worthy of the Captain’s Table, reflecting the craft of distillation and the spirit of Star Trek’s endless voyage through the stars.
