Crafting a fine bourbon is always a gamble, especially if you want to do something bold and original. I have never been one to play it safe. Everyone fears failure. I, however, let that fear drive me to be braver and more creative. To work harder, get inventive and take risks. For this edition of his Founder's Collection those risks paid off. Raceking is an absolute stud. Kaveh Zamanian Founder and Whiskey Maker For this limited-edition bourbon, Kaveh went all in on a distinctive chocolate-forward flavor. Sired from a one-of-a-kind mash bill featuring chocolate-malted wheat and chocolate-malted barley, and carefully aged in new American Oak barrels, Raceking's deliciously unique taste will add welcome variety to any well-curated whiskey collection. The double chocolate-malted grains make their presence known right out of the gate as a sweet scent of cocoa rushes forward flanked by aromas of brown sugar and toasted bread. Next comes a full field of warm, luxurious flavors, exciting your senses with hints of hazel, cinnamon spice, black cherry and tobacco. Raceking finishes strong down the stretch with earthy notes of wood and leather complimented by a delicious lingering chocolate. Raceking holds nothing back. This specially crafted Kentucky Straight Bourbon is all-out cask strength. Not only does that mean a higher proof, but also a deeper, richer color, stronger nose and a bolder, more complex flavor profile. Cask strength allows you to experience the full impact of the double chocolate-malted grains even as you appreciate the intricate blend of more subtle notes. 109.8 Proof
