Tasting Notes

Nose: A gentle and inviting nose, typical of a lower-proof bourbon. Initial notes of sweet corn and vanilla bean are present, followed by subtle hints of caramel and a touch of light oak. There's a faint whisper of dried fruit, perhaps apricot, and a floral quality that adds elegance.

Palate: The palate is smooth and approachable, echoing the nose. Sweetness arrives first with notes of vanilla, brown sugar, and a mild caramel. A gentle warmth spreads across the tongue, accompanied by a light, bready grain character and a hint of baking spice – a faint cinnamon or nutmeg. The oak presence is very restrained, offering structure without bitterness.

Finish: The finish is relatively short and clean, leaving a pleasant, mild sweetness on the palate. Lingering notes of vanilla and a touch of oak spice fade gracefully, encouraging another sip. It’s smooth and easy-drinking, with no harsh edges.
