Tasting Notes

Nose: Inviting aromas of warm caramelized sugar, spiced apple compote, and toasted oak, framed by fragrant vanilla bean and subtle orange zest.

Palate: Rich and balanced with sweet toffee, candied pecans, and ripe orchard fruit layered over rye baking spice, buttery corn, and creamy custard.

Finish: Medium-long and warming, leaving trailing notes of charred oak, cinnamon stick, dried cherry, and sweet pipe tobacco.
