📝 Tasting Notes

👃 Nose

A gentle, approachable nose presents soft caramel and vanilla alongside bright orange peel and a touch of mint. Light oak and sweet corn notes provide a solid foundation with hints of baking spices and grain sweetness.

👅 Palate

The palate shows sweet vanilla and caramel with citrus zest and mild oak. Light-bodied and accessible, with peppery spice and corn sweetness balancing the gentle fruit notes.

🔥 Finish

A short to medium finish with subtle spice, fading caramel, and a touch of warming oak.

🥃 How to Enjoy

Recommended
🥃
Neat

The purist's choice. Full oak, vanilla, and caramel come through at room temperature with no dilution.

🧊
On the Rocks

A single large cube slows dilution and tames heat on high-proof pours. Wheated bourbons are especially good this way.

💧
With Water

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

💡 High-proof and single barrel releases shine neat. Save the rocks for everyday-sipper bourbons.
