Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Mid gold; clean and bright, medium legs
Nose
Fine and inviting — ripe green pear, lemon-zest, white peach, light biscuit-crumb, and a whisper of marzipan. Ex-bourbon barrels lend soft vanilla and honeyed grain. Sherry component introduces dark cherry and subtle dried fruit
Palate
Medium-bodied. Clean fruit character — pear, peach, lemon, marzipan. The floor-malted barrels add a rich barley depth. Bourbon sweetness provides vanilla and honey backbone. Sherry hogshead contributes dark cherry and dried fruit complexity. Well-integrated and balanced
Finish
Medium-long finish with vanilla, pear, and gentle biscuit sweetness. Marzipan lingers alongside subtle dried fruit from the sherry cask. Clean and elegant
