Dunce Bourbon Whiskey Series #001

Named for master 13th-century philosopher John Duns Scotus, our bourbon pays homage to his signature pointy hat and belief in the divine power of pyramid shapes. He believed that conical shapes bestowed knowledge from the heavens into the being or object on which they were placed. We did a little experimenting of our own by placing Dunce caps on the barrels of this bourbon as they aged.

A medium body, column-distilled bourbon with key notes of grassy rye to break up the sweetness. A soft vanillic creaminess emerges from aging for 4 years in #3 new char oak barrels. Butterscotch and red apple warms on the nose. The palate offers a soft and sweet baking spice flavor upfront. The medium length finish combines a harmonious oak presence with the smoothness of cream soda.
