Silver Oak's signature vanilla-dill embrace wraps concentrated blackberry fruit beautifully.

Trademark American oak announces itself immediately—vanilla bean, coconut, sweet dill. Concentrated blackberry core pushes through, supported by cocoa dust and worn leather. Rich, velvety texture coats the mouth. Spice-driven finish lingers with tobacco notes. Peak drinking now through 2025, though structure suggests longer life.
