Tasting Notes

Nose: A sophisticated bouquet of sweet caramel and vanilla, intertwined with notes of dried fruit—think fig and apricot—and a gentle undercurrent of seasoned oak and baking spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. A faint floral hint adds complexity.

Palate: The palate opens with a rich, smooth entry of butterscotch and dark brown sugar, quickly followed by a delightful warmth of toasted oak and peppery spice. Hints of leather, roasted nuts, and a touch of ripe cherry or plum develop mid-palate, showcasing its age and depth.

Finish: Long, warm, and exceptionally smooth. The finish lingers with echoes of sweet vanilla, a dry, pleasant oakiness, and a delicate spice that slowly fades, leaving a satisfying, classic bourbon impression.
