Dark Art's The Empyrean Red & White Port Wine Cask Finish Bourbon Whiskey

🔮 Dark Art's The Empyrean Bourbon Whiskey

Red & White Port Wine Cask Finish | Cask Strength | 7.5 Years Aged | 750ml

Step into the realm of rare bourbon alchemy with The Empyrean—a 7.5-year-old cask strength expression from Dark Arts Whiskey House, finished in both red and white port wine casks. This dual maturation creates a layered, fruit-forward profile that balances elegance with intensity, making it a standout in any collector’s lineup.

🍷 Dual Cask Magic

Crafted from a high-rye mash bill (60% corn, 36% rye, 4% malted barley), the bourbon is aged in new American oak before undergoing separate finishing in seasoned ruby and white port barrels. The final blend is a secret recipe of light and shadow—where floral brightness meets deep, jammy sweetness.

🥃 Tasting Notes

• Nose: Stewed plum, toasted caramel, vanilla bean, and red berries
• Palate: Black cherry, fig, white chocolate, raisin bread, and port-soaked oak
