Dark Arts Whiskey House 7 Year Bourbon Pineau des Charentes Finish

Unlock the unexpected with Dark Arts Whiskey House 7 Year Straight Bourbon Whiskey, a bold and limited edition cask strength bourbon finished in ultra-rare Pineau des Charentes casks. This expression brings together Kentucky bottling and Indiana distillation to deliver a one-of-a-kind French wine cask-finished bourbon that balances power, complexity, and refined sweetness.

Aged for 7 years and bottled at 115.2 proof (57.6% ABV), this non-chill filtered small batch bourbon boasts a high-rye mash bill—60% corn, 36% rye, and 4% malted barley—that provides a firm spice backbone to support the lush, fruit-driven influence of the Pineau cask finish.
