Tasting Notes

Nose: A captivating and assertive nose, immediately greeted by rich vanilla and butterscotch with a distinct undercurrent of charred oak. Subtle hints of dried apricot, corn sweetness, and a touch of baking spice – cinnamon and nutmeg – emerge, intertwined with a faint earthiness, almost like damp forest floor after a spring rain.

Palate: The palate delivers on the promise of the nose, offering a robust and creamy mouthfeel given the 100 proof. A wave of sweet caramel and dark brown sugar quickly gives way to spicy rye notes – black pepper and a hint of clove. The American oak influence is prominent, showcasing toasted wood and a pleasing tannic grip. Cherry cola, roasted nuts, and a whisper of dark chocolate add complexity, all balanced by the underlying corn sweetness.

Finish: A long, warm, and satisfying finish that lingers beautifully. The char and spice continue, evolving into a pleasant warmth with notes of cocoa powder and leather. A drying oak presence is evident, inviting another sip, while a subtle sweetness of burnt sugar and vanilla extract persists, leaving a memorable impression.
