Tasting Notes

Nose: A gentle and inviting aroma, opening with classic bourbon notes of sweet corn and vanilla bean, underpinned by a hint of caramel and a whisper of oak. There's a subtle fruitiness, perhaps green apple or pear, with a faint suggestion of floral spice emerging as it breathes.

Palate: The palate is approachable and smooth, true to its 80 proof. Initial sweetness of brown sugar and candied corn gives way to a light caramel, rounded out by a touch of baking spice—nutmeg and a hint of cinnamon. A delicate oak presence provides structure without overpowering, offering a clean, traditional bourbon character.

Finish: A relatively short and clean finish, leaving a pleasant warmth and lingering notes of sweet vanilla and a soft, dry oak. It's gentle and unassuming, encouraging another sip without any harsh edges.
