Nineteen years is a long time for American whiskey by any measure, and a cask that survives it with this much sweetness intact is the reason the pick got a name rather than just a number.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\"Vanilla After Dark\" refers to what the barrel actually does. Brown sugar and dark caramel lead, mature oak and warm spice build behind them, and the finish carries an unmistakable vanilla frosting character that keeps going well past where most whiskeys at this proof have burned off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBottled by Old Sport LLC in Louisville, Kentucky.
