Nose: Rich waves of caramelized brown sugar, toasted oak, and a hint of dark cherry set the stage.
-
Palate: Absolutely wonderful mouthfeel—silky and coating, with layers of vanilla, spice, and dark fruit that unfold gradually. The proof provides warmth without overwhelming, allowing the flavors to shine with remarkable clarity.
-
Finish: Long, satisfying, and incredibly “crushable,” leaving behind sweet baking spice and a gentle Kentucky hug.
