Tasting Notes

Nose: A gentle and inviting nose, revealing classic bourbon notes of sweet corn, vanilla bean, and a whisper of caramel. Subtle floral undertones emerge, alongside a faint hint of baking spice, like nutmeg, and a delicate woody presence, characteristic of a well-behaved, lower-proof expression.

Palate: The entry is soft and smooth, with a delicate sweetness that coats the palate. Flavors of creamy vanilla and sweet corn lead, followed by light caramel and a touch of honey. A mild oak influence provides structure without overt bitterness, and faint notes of dried fruit and a very subtle rye spice add complexity. It's clean and easy-drinking, showcasing a more delicate side of bourbon.

Finish: A relatively short and clean finish, leaving a pleasant warmth. Sweet notes of vanilla and caramel linger briefly, accompanied by a touch of soft oak and a faint, sweet spice. It's refreshing and doesn't overstay its welcome, inviting another sip.
