Tasting Notes

Nose: A rich and inviting nose, with prominent notes of toasted nuts, caramel, and vanilla. Underlying hints of dried cherry, warm baking spices like cinnamon and nutmeg, and a touch of oak char add complexity.

Palate: The palate is robust and full-bodied, delivering a powerful punch of sweet caramel and dark brown sugar. This is quickly balanced by a pleasant peppery rye spice, roasted peanuts, and dark chocolate. The 100 proof provides a satisfying warmth without overwhelming the intricate flavors of dried fruit, oak, and a subtle smoky nuance.

Finish: A long, warm, and lingering finish. Notes of toasted oak, sweet vanilla, and a gentle spice fade slowly, leaving a pleasant warmth and a final touch of char and leather on the tongue.
