Tasting Notes

Nose: A captivating bouquet of sweet caramel and vanilla bean immediately greets the nose, underpinned by warm baking spices like cinnamon and a hint of nutmeg. Subtle floral notes, perhaps dried rose petals, emerge alongside a faint whisper of toasted oak and dried fruit, possibly fig or apricot.

Palate: The palate is remarkably smooth and approachable, a testament to its 95 proof. Initial sweetness of butterscotch and maple syrup quickly unfolds into a rich tapestry of spice, predominantly black pepper and clove, balanced by the familiar vanilla and caramel. A gentle nuttiness, reminiscent of roasted almonds, develops mid-palate, complemented by a soft, fruit-forward nuance – perhaps cherry or a dark berry compote. The oak influence is present but well-integrated, offering structure without overpowering the other flavors.

Finish: The finish is medium to long, warm and inviting, echoing the sweet and spicy notes from the palate. Vanilla and caramelized sugar linger, gradually fading into a pleasant, drying oak presence with a touch of leather and a final, faint echo of peppery spice.
