A lush, dessert-like nose opens with rich caramel, vanilla crème brûlée, and dark chocolate alongside cherry compote and brown sugar. The double-barreled expression shows elegant sweetness with hints of toasted oak, butterscotch, and dried fruit.
The palate is silky and indulgent, presenting layers of caramel, milk chocolate, and vanilla custard with ripe cherry and gentle oak. Medium to full-bodied with a smooth, almost creamy texture featuring brown sugar sweetness, subtle spice, and hints of roasted nuts.
A medium to long finish that's notably smooth and sweet, with lingering chocolate, vanilla, and gentle oak warmth.

On 100+ proof bottles, a few drops settle the alcohol burn and let the grain and spice breathe.
