Savage and Cooke Digits is a distinguished, mature bourbon whiskey born from the collaboration between NBA legend Scottie Pippen and acclaimed winemaker and master distiller Dave Phinney. Phinney founded Savage and Cooke in 2016 on historic Mare Island in Vallejo, California, where the distillery has earned a reputation for small lots of exceptional brown spirits. For Digits, Pippen and Phinney hand selected each barrel for its unique attributes, drawing on bourbon sourced from Indiana and Tennessee and aged at Savage and Cooke, with the youngest whiskey in the blend a full five years old. Built on a high rye mashbill of 75 percent corn, 21 percent rye, and 4 percent malted barley and bottled at 92 proof, it is a true reflection of Scottie's smooth, refined style, lush and velvety with no hard edges. The bottle itself is a work of art, fronted by a striking image of a hand, a nod to the Digits name and to the craftsmanship behind every bottle. It pours a warm amber and opens with a rich, inviting nose of brown sugar, oak, and dark cherry. The palate is smooth and full, packed with vanilla bean, caramel, buttered toast, and maple, with a layer of dark chocolate adding depth. The finish is mellow and satisfying, easygoing and polished from start to finish. Equally at home as a celebratory pour or an everyday sipper, Digits is best enjoyed neat or over a single large cube, and makes a memorable gift for the bourbon lover or basketball fan in your life.
