Tasting Notes
Nose: Initial delicate sweetness of vanilla and caramel, followed by subtle hints of dried orchard fruits like apple and pear. A faint whisper of oak spice and grain character provides a gentle foundation.
Palate: A surprisingly smooth and approachable entry, given its proof, with a pleasant creaminess. The vanilla and caramel notes from the nose are present but not overpowering, balanced by a gentle oak influence. There's a soft spice, akin to cinnamon or nutmeg, and a touch of ripe stone fruit, perhaps apricot. The 80 proof keeps it light and easy-drinking.
Finish: Medium-short and clean, leaving a lingering warmth of sweet oak and a persistent, mild caramel note. It's not overly complex, but offers a satisfying and gentle conclusion.
