Orphan Barrel Fanged Pursuit 17 Year Bourbon Whiskey

Orphan Barrel Fanged Pursuit 17 Year Bourbon Whiskey is a rare, long-aged Kentucky straight bourbon that showcases the bold side of extended maturation. Aged for seventeen years, it delivers deep, concentrated aromas of charred oak, dark caramel, vanilla bean, and toasted pecan, layered with hints of leather, dried cherry, and baking spice. The nose immediately signals its maturity, balancing sweetness with the unmistakable intensity that comes from time spent in well-seasoned barrels.

On the palate, Fanged Pursuit is rich and assertive, opening with waves of toffee, molasses, and brown sugar before evolving into oak spice, clove, cinnamon, and a touch of dark chocolate. The oak presence is prominent but structured, complemented by subtle fruit and nutty undertones that keep it from feeling one-dimensional. The finish is long, warm, and dry, lingering with seasoned oak, vanilla, and gentle spice, making this a contemplative sipping bourbon best enjoyed slowly.
