Tasting
How it drinks
- Sight
- Deep amber with golden highlights, viscous legs indicating robust character.
- Nose
- Rich vanilla and caramel with notes of oak spice, leather, and a hint of cherry wood. The nose evolves with air exposure, revealing subtle baking spice and dried fruit undertones.
- Palate
- Full-bodied with creamy mouthfeel and bold vanilla followed by caramel sweetness. Spice builds gradually on the palate with hints of cinnamon, allspice, and black pepper, balanced by warm oak influence.
- Finish
- Long, warming finish with lingering spice, oak tannins, and sweet vanilla. A subtle mineral note persists, characteristic of Kentucky limestone terroir.
Tasting notes are AI-assisted and still being refined.
