Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Pale gold to amber, reflecting its bourbon cask heritage with exceptional clarity.
Nose
Vibrant notes of vanilla, caramel, and grain spice. There's a pleasant oakiness with hints of citrus zest and a whisper of smoke in the background.
Palate
Full-bodied and robust with pronounced vanilla sweetness, white pepper spice, and a dry grain character. The higher ABV reveals more complexity with subtle wood notes and light floral undertones.
Finish
Long, warming finish with persistent oak, gentle spice, and a touch of drying tannins that linger pleasantly.
