Tasting
How it drinks
- Sight
- Deep amber-copper with mahogany edges; full body, viscous legs
- Nose
- Mixed berry compote, vanilla syrup, faint aged oak, leather, oatmeal cookie crumble. Two V-batch 13-year-olds provide luscious fruit, 19yo OESV adds antique depth
- Palate
- Raspberry preserves, cream-covered strawberry, vanilla bean ice cream, licorice, cinnamon, wildflower honey, vanilla buttercream frosting. Rye flavours amplified by OBSK. Intensely satisfying at 109 proof
- Finish
- Long and gentle — nutmeg, spiced oak, Cinnamon Toast Crunch sweetness, rich buttercream. Rye spice (licorice, anise) keeps tongue buzzing. Oak and tobacco close maturely
Tasting notes are AI-assisted and still being refined.
