Tasting
How it drinks
- Sight
- Rich golden amber with russet tones.
- Nose
- Potent and complex with pronounced grain sweetness, vanilla, and a peppery spice. Oak influence is prominent with notes of burnt sugar and a hint of smoke in the background.
- Palate
- Full-bodied and warming with bold oak character, spiced grain, and subtle fruit notes. The higher ABV adds intensity while maintaining smoothness, with developing notes of toffee and dark chocolate.
- Finish
- Long and warming finish with persistent oak, spice, and a touch of ethanol heat that fades gracefully. Final notes of caramel and toasted grain linger.
Tasting notes are AI-assisted and still being refined.
Maturation
The wood it came through
