Last Lion Aged Reserve
Cask Strength Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Drawn from the same carefully curated barrel stocks that produce our 98 out of 100 point award-winning Last Lion, Aged Reserve represents an exceptionally limited selection of our finest 10- and 11-year-old bourbon barrels. Individually chosen for their remarkable character, depth, and complexity, these barrels have earned a place in a special release. Bottled at cask strength, this is The Last Lion at its most mature—and its most elusive.
Great bourbon isn't defined by age alone. Every barrel destined for The Last Lion is evaluated for the character it brings to the final blend, and occasionally, we discover barrels whose additional years in oak have developed something extraordinary.
For Aged Reserve, we set aside a select number of these older barrels, aged 10 and 11 years, to create a distinctive expression of our celebrated cask-strength bourbon. Blending two complementary mash bills—75% corn, 21% rye and 4% malted barley, alongside 60% corn, 36% rye and 4% malted barley—this release showcases the richness, balance, and complexity that come from exceptional barrels given additional time to mature.
With fewer than 1,000 bottles produced in each batch, The Last Lion Aged Reserve is an allocated, limited release, with availability reserved for select retail partners, bars, and loyal supporters of The Beautiful and the Damned. Offered at the same price as our original Last Lion, it reflects our belief that exceptional whiskey should be valued for what's inside the bottle, not simply the number of years printed on it.

Tasting Notes
AROMA: Rich Madagascar vanilla, dark caramel, toasted oak and seasoned leather. Layers of dried fig, black cherry, dark chocolate and tobacco leaf unfold alongside hints of cinnamon, roasted pecans and aged oak.
TASTE: Decadent layers of burnt caramel, dark cherry preserves, candied orange peel and rich toffee. Deep notes of crème brûlée, baking spices and dark chocolate evolve into seasoned oak, sweet tobacco and a touch of warming rye spice.
MOUTHFEEL: Luxuriously full-bodied with a rich, velvety viscosity that coats the palate. Beautifully integrated oak and warming spice lead to an exceptionally long, complex finish of lingering caramel, dark fruit and refined, mature oak.
