Fortuna, a renowned brand from the late 1800s to the 1960s, is revived by Rare Character Whiskey's Pablo Moix and Peter Nevenglosky. Founded by German immigrant Phil Hollenbach during America's original whiskey boom, Fortuna aimed to share a "Taste of Good Fortune." Now, aged for six years and carefully selected, Fortuna Bourbon embodies Hollenbach's legacy for a new generation of whiskey lovers.

Tasting Notes

Initial scents of sweet toffee, biscotti, and gentle spiced earthiness evolve into a creamy, nutty charred oak with hints of anise and floral tones. The palate offers cherry pie, spiced honey, salted caramel, pepper, cinnamon, and allspice, culminating in well-charred oak. The finish is enduring, with deep spiciness, dark fruits, leather, and caramel.
