Tasting Notes
Nose: A gentle and inviting nose, opening with classic bourbon notes of sweet caramel and vanilla bean. Subtler hints of dried orchard fruits – perhaps apricot and a touch of roasted almond – peek through. A delicate spice, reminiscent of star anise and a whisper of oak, provides structure without being overpowering.
Palate: The palate is surprisingly rich for its proof, offering a harmonious blend of sweetness and warmth. Initial notes of butterscotch and brown sugar yield to a pleasant interplay of baking spices, including nutmeg and a hint of cinnamon. The eight years in oak manifest as a soft, well-integrated woody character, accompanied by a touch of leathery complexity and a faint, pleasing bitterness that prevents it from being cloying.
Finish: A medium-long and satisfying finish that tapers off gracefully. Sweet oak and vanilla linger, gradually fading into a subtle peppery spice and a pleasant warmth that coats the palate. There's a clean, dry quality that invites another sip, leaving behind echoes of caramel and toasted nuts.
