Palate

At 110 proof, the whiskey arrives bold yet rounded. Honey and graham cracker coat the tongue, followed by a nutty depth-hazelnut, almond butter. Oak and char provide structure without overwhelming, while layers of spice (cinnamon, pepper, nutmeg) keep it lively. Secondary flavors of apple butter, black tea, and citrus peel weave in, with occasional flashes of dark chocolate or licorice depending on sip and air time.

Nose

The aroma opens rich and inviting with a wave of toffee and vanilla, balanced by warm caramel and roasted nuts. Baking spices rise quickly-cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove. A layer of fruit develops with time in the glass: baked apple, dried cherry, and flashes of orange zest.

Finish

Long and sophisticated. Drying oak and spice dominate initially, but sweet residues of caramel and toffee linger. Notes of leather, tobacco leaf, and a faint cherry-cola quality ride out the fade. The proof remains present but integrated, leaving a pleasantly warm trail.
