French-Oak-Stave-Finished Bourbon

Kentucky straight wheated bourbon (or standard bourbon) given a secondary maturation with seared French oak staves inserted into the bourbon barrel for additional months. The French oak imparts toasted-oak, caramel, baking-spice, and deeper vanilla layered onto the bourbon's existing profile. Typically bottled at 47% ABV (94 proof). Examples include Maker's Mark 46.
