We kicked things off with OBSV – our Single Barrel all-star known for its delicate fruit and rye flavors. This month, we are sticking with our rye-forward “B” mashbill and adding the K yeast strain to achieve a Bourbon that, well, could never be described as shy. Ladies and gentlemen meet OBSK.

OBSK is a favorite of Bourbon lovers who like intense, spicy flavors. It’s smooth and mellow like all our Bourbons, but the mashbill and yeast strain combine to create our spiciest recipe. Here’s the OBSK flavor profile as described by our Master Distiller, Brent Elliott:

The nose of OBSK is dominated by aromas of rich, clean rye and hints of lighter baking spices. The rich rye tones also dominate the palate at first sip, before seamlessly transitioning into flavors of allspice, nutmeg and cinnamon. As this recipe ages, the robust, bright flavors mellow into deeper and richer tones, as the oak, caramel and vanilla flavors increase. However, despite the spice up front and mid palate, OBSK has a generally soft and very mellow finish
