The 115.4 proof provides excellent backbone for cocktails, but the unique single cask character is best appreciated on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow should I drink this bourbon?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStart by tasting it neat to appreciate the full single cask character, then experiment with a few drops of water to open up different flavor layers. The high proof means it can handle dilution well, but begin conservatively. A single large ice cube can also provide gentle dilution while keeping the bourbon chilled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat makes this different from other Cardinal Spirits bourbons?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Analog Single Cask Series represents Cardinal Spirits' most exclusive releases, featuring individual barrels selected for their exceptional character.
