Tasting Notes

Nose: Inviting aromas of caramel and vanilla cream, with subtle hints of honey, toasted corn, and a touch of fruit, possibly green apple or pear. The wheated mash bill lends a soft, approachable sweetness.

Palate: A surprisingly rich and smooth entry despite its proof. The wheated character immediately shines, delivering notes of sweet vanilla, butterscotch, and warm bread. There's a pleasant underlying spice – cinnamon and a whisper of nutmeg – balanced by stone fruit and a hint of oak.

Finish: Medium-long and pleasant, with lingering notes of sweet oak, vanilla, and a gentle warmth. The finish is clean, leaving a satisfying, subtly sweet aftertaste with just a touch of residual spice.
