Tasting Notes

Nose: A captivating and inviting bouquet opens with soft, sweet aromas of crème brûlée, vanilla bean, and honeyed corn. Subtle hints of dried apricot and a whisper of cinnamon spice emerge, characteristic of a wheat-forward mash bill. There's an underlying gentle warmth, almost like toasted marshmallows, with a touch of fresh-baked bread.

Palate: The palate delivers on the promise of the nose, offering a wonderfully smooth and rounded entry. Sweetness dominates, showcasing notes of rich caramel, butterscotch, and warm sugar cookies. A velvety texture coats the mouth, interweaving with delicate fruit notes of pear and white peach. The wheat component truly shines, providing a soft, almost pillowy mouthfeel, balanced by a faint wisp of oak and a very mild peppery spice that prevents it from becoming cloying.

Finish: The finish is medium in length, remarkably clean and pleasantly warm. Lingering notes of sweet vanilla and fading caramel persist, leaving a gentle confectionery sweetness on the tongue. There's a subtle, almost creamy, fade with a final, delicate whisper of baking spice and toasted grain. It's exceptionally smooth and easygoing, inviting another sip.
