Tasting Notes

Nose: A sophisticated and inviting aroma unfolds with rich caramel, dark vanilla bean, and toasted oak. Underlying notes of dried stone fruit like apricot and fig mingle with hints of baking spices – cinnamon, nutmeg, and a whisper of clove – all framed by a subtle leather and tobacco complexity.

Palate: The palate immediately confirms its 101 proof with a pleasant warmth that quickly gives way to a luxurious, full-bodied texture. Initial flavors of sweet corn and butterscotch transition to deep, dark cherry and orange peel. The influence of 12 years in oak is evident through robust notes of charred barrel, dark chocolate, and roasted nuts, balanced by a rye spice backbone and a touch of maple syrup sweetness.

Finish: A long, satisfying, and lingering finish. The warmth persists, leaving behind flavors of sweet oak, black pepper, and a pleasing earthiness. A return of dried fruit and a touch of cocoa powder fade slowly, inviting another sip.
