Description
Dark Arts Straight Bourbon French Oak Stave Finish
750 mL | 108 Proof (54% ABV) | Small Batch Straight Bourbon | Finished with Jupilles French Oak Staves
Process & Profile
This small-batch straight bourbon undergoes a unique French oak stave finish using tight-grain Jupilles oak from an ancient French royal forest. Aged 6–8 years and bottled at 108 proof, the bourbon begins with a high-rye mash bill—60% corn, 36% rye, and 4% malted barley—then finished for several months with custom-toasted staves. The result is a balanced spirit that softens rye spice with layered sweetness and savory complexity.

Ethan Nguyen –
This bottle had a good, honest flavor. Dark Arts Straight Bourbon French Oak Stave Finish was not harsh, and the caramel plus oak notes made it feel a little more special than a basic pick. It made a good impression without feeling overdone.
