Inviting aromas of butterscotch and toasted oak lead the way, followed by notes of golden corn syrup, vanilla wafers, and a hint of cinnamon stick. A subtle backdrop of dried orange peel and honeycomb adds complexity.
Sweet entry with rich caramel and brown sugar coating the palate, transitioning to vanilla custard and charred oak. Mid-palate brings gentle baking spices, toasted grain, and a touch of black pepper heat that builds gradually.
Medium finish with lingering sweetness, warm oak tannins, and a peppery fade that leaves traces of caramel and vanilla.
The purist's choice. Full oak, vanilla, and caramel come through at room temperature with no dilution.
A single large cube slows dilution and tames heat on high-proof pours. Wheated bourbons are especially good this way.
On 100+ proof bottles, a few drops settle the alcohol burn and let the grain and spice breathe.
