The extraordinary rarely follows a straight line. Inspired by Cheslin Kolbe's instinct to find a way where others see no opening, Sidestep XXO pairs his distinctive spirit with Avante's Cape potstill craftsmanship.

Plump raisins and dark fruit open into warm vanilla and seasoned oak. The rounded palate layers mellow apricot, rich dried fruit and a thread of spice, leading to a long, composed finish. Enjoy neat or with a splash of water.

Includes a signed copy of Cheslin’s biography, Sidestepping the Odds, and optionally a Collector’s display cabinet.
