Tasting Notes
"Whisky maker Andres Faustinelli has blended a whisky that takes complex oak finishing process and converts it into a warm bear-hug of balanced oak-driven flavors. Spicy oak and floral tones on the nose coat caramel, sweet corn and maple that carries into an opulent palate running the gamut between spicy, fruity and tart. A well-calculated oak frame is built atop this flavor base. That sweetness slowly fades to toasty corn nuts then dry peppery spices. Starts sweet, finishes dry, perfect for any whisky forward cocktail or sipped on its own."
