THE STORY
At the height of America’s original whiskey boom of the late nineteenth century, a German immigrant named Phil Hollenbach crafted a brand called Fortuna that helped define the early days of the modern bourbon industry. Hollenbach left a lasting mark on the whiskey trade, having found great success in Louisville, Kentucky. He strived to delight customers far and wide by sharing some of the “Taste of Good Fortune” provided to his family.

The nose is sweet toffee, biscotti, and softly spiced earthiness before a creamy, nutty charred oak. Flecks of anise and florality throughout, as well as a touch of smoke that dissipates as it sits in the glass.
The palate strikes first with cherry pie, spiced honey, salted caramel, nips of pepper, cinnamon, and allspice before well charred oak.
The finish is long is lasting, deeply spiced with dark fruits, leather, and well cooked caramel.
