Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Deep gold with rich amber undertones, full-bodied appearance.
Nose
Rich malty backbone with notes of caramel, toasted nuts, and a hint of citrus. Creamy vanilla from ex-bourbon maturation with subtle oak spice.
Palate
Full-bodied and engaging with layers of toasted grain, honeyed sweetness, and gentle wood spice. The non-chill filtration provides additional body and texture complexity.
Finish
Long, warming finish with persistent caramel, dry oak, and a peppery spice that builds gradually.
