Tasting
How it drinks
- Sight
- Deep amber-copper; intensely rich from barrel proof concentration, viscous heavy legs
- Nose
- Heavy roasted nuts — macadamia, toasted pecans — intertwined with black cherry, cherry cola, Gala apple, cinnamon stick, raspberry, cotton candy. Cask strength amplifies every note to maximum intensity
- Palate
- Concentrated and powerful. Caramel, cooked banana, vanilla, cherry fruit leather, dark fruit from tip of tongue to midpalate. Secondary waves of strawberry candy, butterscotch, and spicy cinnamon gum. Peppery baking spice, cardamom, and pine emerge mid-palate. Full-bodied with exceptional richness at barrel proof
- Finish
- Long finish of spiced cinnamon coffee cake, cherry, leather, cedar, and dry vanilla. The barrel proof intensity sustains remarkable complexity through a prolonged fade
Tasting notes are AI-assisted and still being refined.
Maturation
The wood it came through
