Tasting Notes
Nose: A gentle and inviting nose, offering notes of sweet corn and cereal grains, underpinned by a delicate vanilla bean and a touch of light, toasted oak. Hints of caramel and a whisper of green apple add a subtle fruitiness, characteristic of a younger, wheated bourbon. There's a faint suggestion of white pepper that adds a touch of liveliness.
Palate: The palate is surprisingly smooth and approachable, a direct result of its wheated mash bill. Sweetness leads, with flavors of creamy vanilla, caramel chews, and butterscotch. The corn sweetness is present but well-integrated, not overwhelming. A subtle nutty character emerges, perhaps almond or soft peanut, along with a whisper of baking spice, primarily cinnamon and a touch of ginger. The 80 proof keeps it light and easy-drinking, with no ethanol harshness.
Finish: The finish is relatively short and clean, leaving a pleasant warmth and lingering notes of sweet vanilla and a gentle oak spice. There's a touch of dried fruit, like a faint apricot or fig, in the very end. It fades gracefully, inviting another sip.
