Dark Arts Whiskey is an independent bottler and craft whiskey brand known for sourcing and finishing exceptional American spirits with a creative, artisan approach. The Sweet N Sour Mash Bourbon Finished in Honey Cask is a distinctive expression that blends the classic character of a well-crafted straight bourbon with the warm, floral sweetness imparted by a honey cask finish. The result is a bourbon that is layered, approachable, and genuinely unique — one that bridges tradition and innovation in the glass without leaning too heavily into sweetness.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Floral beeswax rather than thick, sticky honey — joined by dried apricot, caramelized banana, and dried orange peel
Palate: Each element is clearly defined without crowding the others — a beautifully balanced profile that rewards those who quickly tire of overly sweet honey-cask expressions
Finish: Returns to beeswax with a faint note of peach, then fades into vanilla and sweet tea — clean, with no sense of heaviness or fatigue
