Tasting Notes
Nose:
Warm, inviting aromas of seasoned oak, honey, and soft spices. Subtle hints of clove, toasted grain, and a touch of dried fruit round out the bouquet.
Palate:
Silky and rich with flavors of cinnamon-dusted graham crackers, aged oak, light caramel, and gentle vanilla. The wheat-forward mash bill provides a soft and rounded mouthfeel, layered with warm baking spices and sweet undertones.
Finish:
Medium to long in length, the finish brings a wave of maple sweetness, oak tannins, and a gentle peppery tingle. A beautifully balanced end that lingers with elegance.

Full Flavor, Barrel Strength – Uncut and non-chill filtered, delivering a rich, natural whiskey experience.
