Five Bourbons, One Anniversary Blend
Dark Arts treats each release as a study in structure and layered flavor, and the 5X Blend is its patriotic showpiece: five separately aged bourbon components married to create a whiskey more complex than the sum of its parts. At eleven years and full barrel strength, it is made for drinkers who like their whiskey with muscle behind it and the patience to let it open.

Tasting Notes
Mature oak and dark sweetness lead the nose, with caramelized sugar and spice from the double-oaked blend. The palate is dense and warming at full proof, dark fruit and toasted oak in layers, and the finish is long, oaky and spiced, built for a slow pour.
How to Enjoy
Neat in a Glencairn, given time to open, with a few drops of water to unfold the five components. It is the high-proof enthusiast's bottle: pour it next to other barrel-strength bourbons and taste what blending adds.
