Seven years in that climate can produce maturity profiles that rival considerably older bourbons aged in cooler northern warehouses. Bottled at barrel proof without chill filtration at 121.8 proof, Tintype #1 reaches the glass with its full cask character intact — no dilution, no shortcuts. The \"Tintype\" designation signals a limited, serialized release, with #1 marking the first entry in what is intended as a collectible series.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dark caramel and toasted oak lead the nose, followed by waves of cinnamon bark, roasted pecans, and dried stone fruit.
