Tasting Notes

Nose: A classic bourbon nose opens with sweet corn and caramel, quickly followed by warm baking spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. Hints of dried orange peel and a subtle undercurrent of oak provide depth, with a touch of vanilla bean and a whisper of green apple emerging after a moment.

Palate: The palate delivers a satisfying burst of sweet caramel and vanilla upfront, swiftly transitioning to a peppery spice that tingles the tongue. Notes of roasted nuts, dried fruit, and a pleasant oak char develop mid-palate, balanced by the enduring sweetness of corn and brown sugar. It possesses a medium body with a slightly oily texture.

Finish: The finish is medium-long and warm, leaving a lingering impression of black pepper, cinnamon, and a delicate drying oak. A touch of sweet caramel and vanilla persists, fading gracefully with a final, subtle hint of char and spice.
