ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

FOURTH EDITION

This IVth Edition of The Boss Hog, The Black Prince, is a tribute to the great spirits of Europe. This is the first Rye Whiskey ever finished in Armagnac casks, straight from France.

The result is extraordinary. A fine balance between American power and French sophistication. There's nothing else like it.

Nose

Toasted almonds, plum, fig, allspice and warm apple crisp.

Palate

Bold, powerful spice, apricot, clove and cinnamon sugar. A drop of water brings out notes citrus fruits and black tea.

Finish

Exceptionally long, with burnt sugar, toasted marshmallows, dried fruits and a gentle oak spice.

THE BLACK PRINCE

1330-1376

His real name was Prince Edward of Woodstock, eldest son of King Edward III of England. He was an exceptional military leader and his victories over the French made him very popular in England during his lifetime.

His chivalric tendencies were overridden by expediency on many occasions. The Black Prince's repeated use of the chevauchée strategy (burning and pillaging towns and farms) was not in keeping with contemporary notions of chivalry, but it was quite effective in accomplishing the goals of his campaigns. Notably, after conquering the French countryside he made off with their finest casks of Armagnac (among other things).

The French soldier Philippe de Mézières, in a moment of foreshadowing, refers to Edward as the greatest of the "black boars". We agree
