The Craft Behind Indulgence 25
A Study in Wood, Balance & Time
Indulgence 25 was designed with barrel character as the driving force, allowing each cask to express itself fully before blending.
80% Bearface Canadian Whisky Barrels
The majority of the blend matured in Bearface Canadian whisky barrels, renowned for their unique triple-oaking process:
-
French oak – brings refined spice and subtle aromatic complexity
-
American oak – contributes soft vanilla, gentle sweetness, and classic oak
-
Hungarian oak – adds structure, fine tannins, and depth
Together, these barrels create a layered, elegant whisky influence with remarkable balance and polish.
20% Maple Ex-Bourbon Barrels
The remaining portion of the blend comes from a stout aged in maple ex-bourbon barrels, adding:
-
Sweet maple character
-
Toffee richness
-
A subtle, wood-fired campfire warmth
This component softens the blend and introduces a comforting sweetness that perfectly complements the whisky barrels.
