Tasting Notes

Nose: A rich and inviting bouquet of caramelized brown sugar, vanilla bean, and toasted oak, intertwined with hints of dried dark fruit, baking spices like cinnamon and nutmeg, and a delicate undercurrent of roasted nuts.

Palate: The palate opens with a robust and harmonious balance of sweet and savory. Deep notes of maple syrup, toffee, and dark chocolate are prominent, quickly followed by a pleasant warmth from the 100 proof. Underlying flavors of leathery oak, black pepper, and faint cherry add complexity and depth.

Finish: A long, lingering finish that is warm and satisfying. Sweet notes of vanilla fade into a drier, spicy oak and tobacco character, leaving a pleasant peppery kick and a final echo of roasted nuts on the tongue.
