Dark Arts Whiskey House The Empyrean #1 Straight Bourbon Whiskey Finished in Red & White Port

Batch #1

Tasting Notes as per Dark Arts:

Nose: Bright and layered, with new tobacco leaf up front, wrapped in sticky baked goods and light brown sugar. A savory hint of BBQ honeydew and grilled melon adds depth — ripe fruit kissed by smoke.

Palate: A burst of baking spice — allspice and anise leading — gives way to a wave of confectioner’s sugar. Oily and coating, it rolls across the tongue with torched orchard fruit and caramelized richness.

Finish: Long and creamy, the finish lingers with a soft, lactose-like smoothness. Tobacco, leather, and a final flicker of spice rise at the end, leaving behind structure and resonance.

 

 

They were never meant to meet—two opposing forces pulled from separate worlds. But in the right hands, opposites ignite.

The Empyrean is a union of bourbon aged in both red port and white port casks, finished separately and blended in secret to create a whiskey of uncommon depth and intensity.

One brings bright fruit and floral light; the other, deep sweetness and shadows. Together, they smolder.
