A great whiskey with a noble heart, Noble Oak Rye is first rested in new charred American oak barrels for a minimum of one year. Then it is finished using port wine cask staves to imbue an additional layer of flavor and complexity. The result is a unique rye, elegantly balanced and bold in flavor with notes of fig, toffee and spice. "Our commitment to oak transcends our whiskey, because every bottle plants a tree in partnership with One Tree Planted in an effort to preserve the world's most majestic forests", say the folks at Noble Oak. The time-honored methods used for its distillation create unrivaled whiskey with body, deep color, and richness of flavor that earned this rye 97 points from the Ultimate Spirits Challenge in 2020. You can expect notes of "freshly milled rye, dark crusty bread, and spicy cinnamon are pungent on the nose. The European oak ex-port wine cask staves provide a rounded richness with hints of dark maple to balance out the staunch spicy graininess. The finish is balanced and enjoyable (Ultimate Spirits Challenge 2020). 

Noble Oak makes unique and award-winning whiskey with a worthy purpose. The folks at Noble Oak are wood fanatics and rightly so. That's because 70% of a whiskey's flavor comes from the wood in which it is matured. They mention: "Our commitment to oak transcends our whiskey, because every bottle plants a tree in partnership with One Tree Planted in an effort to preserve the world's most majestic forests." Trinity Reserve is a straight bourbon that brings together 3 continents via oak from Japan, Europe, and America. The whiskey is first aged for at least 4 years in new charred American oak, before being finished with meticulously hand-picked oak staves. Ex-bourbon staves bring vanilla and citrus notes, ex-sherry Scotch staves bring dried fruit and spice notes, while new Japanese oak staves bring the profile together, balancing the complexity and adding depth.
