Master Distiller Jim Rutledge recently announced his retirement after almost 50 years in the biz—and this bottling marks his exit on a high note. The youngest whiskey in this bold barrel-strength blend is 11 years old. Look for a bright copper-penny shine and plenty of caramel aroma. It's quite fiery on the palate, but water tones down the heat and brings forward crème brûlée, vanilla, candied lemon peel and clove.
