Tasting Notes
"Bright yellow gold in color with notes of a high-rye bourbon, as well as vanilla, and burnt sugar in the nose. The initial palate features honey sweetness, toffee, apples, currant, and hint of summer floral. It finishes similar to the bouquet, with notes of a high-rye bourbon and gentle smoke as the last flavors standing. "
