The Justice — an ultra-aged Kentucky straight bourbon matured for a minimum of 14 years in new charred American white oak barrels and bottled at natural cask strength without dilution — a proof and wood-curated selection presenting the deep complexity that 14 years of Kentucky maturation in full-size barrels produces.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Justice is a proof and wood-curated expression — meaning the specific barrels selected for this release meet criteria for both natural barrel proof characteristics and wood integration appropriate to the 14-year age statement. At this age, the bourbon has undergone over a decade of seasonal cycling in Kentucky's climate, extracting the leather, dried fruit, caramel, and tobacco complexity that only extended maturation produces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, Barrel Proof\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e Minimum 14 years\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eBottling:\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural barrel proof, uncut\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse all \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/woodencork.com\/collections\/bourbon\"\u003ebourbon at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eWhat does 'proof and wood curated' mean?\u003c\/strong\u003e The specific barrels selected for The Justice meet criteria for both their natural proof concentration (how much alcohol has concentrated in the barrel through evaporation) and the character of their wood integration (how the oak flavor compounds have developed).
