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.
Maturation
The wood it came through
