Tasting Notes

"Vanilla taffy and cornbread lead on the nose followed by rye spice, oak, cloves, and menthol. You can feel the heat of that proof already, and it comes on hot at the start of the palate, though surprisingly with a bit of a watery feel upfront. A thick, chewy mouthfeel soon emerges, with brown sugar, char, dry oak, and cedar flavors before a moderate length finish. Add some water to open this up and find more rich vanilla sweetness."
