Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Deep mahogany-brown; intensely dark from triple oak exposure, very viscous legs
Nose
Robust medley of rich maple syrup, dark butterscotch, brittle caramel, bittersweet chocolate, burnt marshmallow, and sweet hickory smoke. Rich dried cherry and cranberry fruit layered with blackberry jam, brightened by hints of ripe apple
Palate
Intensely rich and spicy. Chai tea warmth, clove, deep caramel, dark chocolate, and concentrated dried fruit. Distinctly spicier than the Double Oaked — the extra two years in heavily toasted oak convert sweetness into warming spice complexity. Full body with extraordinary depth
Finish
Warm and drying finish with lingering clove character, dark butterscotch, and bittersweet chocolate. The triple oak treatment creates a finish of remarkable length and complexity

Tasting notes are AI-assisted and still being refined.
