Tasting Notes

Nose: A vibrant and inviting nose opens with classic bourbon notes of sweet corn, rich caramel, and vanilla bean. Underlying hints of baking spice – cinnamon and a touch of nutmeg – mingle with dried fruit (apricot, raisin) and a subtle earthy oak influence. A slight nuttiness, perhaps roasted peanuts, emerges with a bit of air.

Palate: The palate arrives with a confident yet balanced burst. The full 100 proof delivers a pleasant warming sensation, quickly followed by a rush of sweet caramel, brown sugar, and robust vanilla. Orchard fruits, particularly ripe apple and pear, surface, complemented by a compelling spiciness of black pepper and a touch of chili flake. The oak influence is present but not overpowering, offering structure and a slight leathery characteristic. A creamy, medium-bodied mouthfeel.

Finish: A medium to long finish that lingers beautifully. Sweet notes of toasted sugar and vanilla gradually fade into a satisfying peppery warmth. A final gentle whisper of dry oak and char leaves a clean, slightly spicy impression, encouraging another sip.
