Golden amber color. Aromas and flavors of roasted and spiced hazelnuts covered in chocolate, maple syrup, and candied lemon with a full body and a long finish with nuances of poached red apple, toasted baking spices, and dark chocolate fudge and candied orange peel. The nose offers a bouquet of honey and caramel, while the palate offers a dry and spicy Whiskey worthy of sipping or building on those complexities in a cocktail.

This checks the quintessential boxes of a well-made bourbon. The nose is rich with caramel candies, vanilla, graham cracker, and rich spicy oak. The palate is sweet and nutty, with candied walnuts, pecan pie, oak, and tobacco. Each sip is well balanced, with the sweet, savory, and earthy flavors coming together harmoniously and without any jostling. The finish is sweet and toasty, turning fruitier than the palate, with a healthy balance of oak spice.
