Tasting Notes
Nose: A gentle and inviting nose, with a clear presence of sweet corn and vanilla bean. Subtle hints of caramel, butterscotch, and a light rye spice mingle beneath, offering a surprising depth for its proof. A faint nuttiness, perhaps roasted peanuts, emerges after a moment.
Palate: The palate is remarkably smooth and approachable, delivering on the promise of the nose. Initial notes of sweet corn and vanilla are quickly joined by a pleasant, warming caramel. A soft oak influence provides structure without bitterness. A delicate peppercorn spice and a whisper of dried fruit (apricot, raisin) surface mid-palate, making it more complex than anticipated. The 80 proof keeps it light and easy-drinking.
Finish: A clean, relatively short finish that remains pleasant. Sweet notes of vanilla and corn linger, with a touch of oak and a very mild, dissipating spice. There's no harshness, making it quite quaffable and leaving a desire for another sip.
