Tasting Notes

Nose: A rich and complex bouquet unfolds with classic bourbon notes of sweet vanilla, caramel, and butterscotch. Deeper exploration reveals baked orchard fruits like apple and pear, complemented by hints of cinnamon, nutmeg, and a delicate waft of seasoned oak, pipe tobacco, and a subtle herbaceous rye spice.

Palate: The palate is robust and full-bodied, delivering an initial burst of dark caramel and brown sugar. This quickly transitions into a wave of baking spices, dried orange peel, and cherry cordial, supported by a firm, yet well-integrated, oak presence. A pleasant warmth from the higher proof carries through, showcasing a sweet corn backbone with undertones of toasted nuts and dark chocolate.

Finish: The finish is long, warm, and satisfying. Sweet oak and lingering baking spices slowly fade, leaving behind notes of vanilla bean, a touch of leather, and a hint of minty rye. The warmth persists without becoming aggressive, ensuring a pleasant, contemplative conclusion.
