Tasting Notes

Nose: Inviting aromas of sweet corn and vanilla bean immediately greet the nose, layered with subtle hints of toasted caramel, a touch of maple syrup, and a faint whisper of char from the barrel. There's a delicate fruitiness, reminiscent of dried apple or pear, underpinned by a nutty warmth.

Palate: The palate is remarkably smooth for its proof, offering an initial burst of classic bourbon sweetness – rich caramel and brown sugar. This quickly evolves into notes of sweet oak and a pleasant spice, like baking cinnamon and a hint of white pepper. Undertones of roasted nuts, particularly pecan, and a faint smoky whisper from the charcoal mellowing process add depth and complexity.

Finish: A medium-long finish that is warm and comforting, leaving lingering notes of sweet oak, vanilla, and a gentle, peppery spice that gracefully fades. There's a clean, slightly dry quality, with a subtle return of the charcoal influence.
