Tasting Notes

Nose: A gentle and inviting nose, revealing classic bourbon sweetness with notes of caramel, vanilla bean, and a hint of corn pudding. Subtle undertones of dried apricot and a whisper of toasted oak emerge, rounded out by a faint floral spice.

Palate: The palate is smooth and approachable, a testament to its 80 proof. Sweet caramel and butterscotch lead the way, quickly followed by warm vanilla and baked apple. A delicate presence of cinnamon and nutmeg spice balances the sweetness, while a soft oak influence provides structure without overt dryness.

Finish: A medium-short, clean finish that leaves a pleasant warmth. Lingering notes of sweet corn, vanilla, and a touch of oak char fade gently, inviting another sip without overwhelming the palate.
