Tasting Notes
Nose: A warm and inviting aroma of butterscotch and vanilla bean immediately greets the nose, underpinned by a soft char from oak aging. Hints of dried apricot, light baking spice like cinnamon and nutmeg, and a delicate floral note emerge, suggesting complexity.
Palate: The first sip reveals a medium-bodied, velvety texture. Sweet corn and caramel lead, quickly followed by a pleasant warmth of rye spice and black pepper. Notes of toasted nuts, dark cherry, and a whisper of cocoa powder develop, balanced by a gentle oak grip.
Finish: The finish is long and satisfying, with lingering notes of sweet vanilla and dry oak. A pleasant, mild heat fades slowly, leaving behind echoes of brown sugar and a faint leathery character, inviting another sip.
