Tasting Notes
Nose: A delicate and inviting aroma of sweet corn, vanilla bean, and a hint of caramel, intertwined with faint notes of toasted oak and a whisper of baking spice. Lightly floral, with a touch of honey.
Palate: A surprisingly soft and approachable entry, revealing a gentle sweetness of butterscotch and crème brûlée. Mid-palate introduces subtle notes of dried apricot, light oak spice, and a touch of roasted nuts. The 80 proof keeps it smooth and easy-drinking.
Finish: A clean, relatively short, and pleasant finish. Lingering notes of vanilla and sweet corn fade gently, leaving a faint warmth and a suggestion of toasted marshmallow. No harshness or bitterness.
