Tasting
How it drinks
- Sight
- Deep mahogany with rich amber edges.
- Nose
- Complex blend of vanilla, caramel, and barrel char with rye spice and a hint of cherry. Slightly higher oak influence than standard releases.
- Palate
- Full-bodied with intense vanilla and caramel sweetness offset by strong oak spice. Black pepper, cinnamon, and leather develop on the palate with dark fruit undertones.
- Finish
- Extended finish with warm oak tannins, lingering spice, and a pleasant sweetness.
Tasting notes are AI-assisted and still being refined.
