Critics and enthusiasts alike praise its beautifully balanced character, making it a discovery worth savoring.
Tasting Experience
Appearance: Warm golden amber with a gentle glow.
Nose: Inviting aromas of caramel, vanilla, brown sugar, and spice—notes of cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, with hints of oak and dried fruit. Some barrel picks reveal rich confectionary undertones like brown butter and banana.
Palate: Smooth and full-bodied with velvety mouthfeel. Layers of caramel corn, toasted oak, butterscotch, and honey unfold alongside spice—think cinnamon, rye warmth, and subtle nutty character. Some barrels carry dark fruit, peanut butter, or dark chocolate nuances.
Finish: Moderately long; while most bottles gently taper into vanilla, oak, and dry rye spice, others showcase lingering tobacco or leather notes.
