Ten Years, 117 Proof, Zero Shortcuts
Leadslingers was founded by seven combat veterans with a simple idea — bourbon made their way, with no compromises. The 10 Year Old is that idea pushed to its limit: a full decade in new American oak, bottled at 117 proof so none of the barrel's work is proofed away. Retailer tasting notes describe warm woody aromas touched by spice and toasted caramel, a rich layered palate of vanilla, sweet toffee, subtle smokiness, and oak-driven depth, and a long finish of charred oak and dark chocolate — notes the brand's own retailers report, presented here as reported.

Tasting Notes
Nose: Warm, woody aromas with hints of spice and toasted caramel (retailer-reported).
Palate: Rich and layered — smooth vanilla and sweet toffee meet subtle smokiness and oak depth.
Finish: Long and warming, with spice, charred oak, and a trace of dark chocolate.
How to Enjoy
At 117 proof, this is a pour that rewards patience: try it neat first, then add a few drops of water to open the vanilla and toffee. It also stands up beautifully in a bold Old Fashioned.
