Caramel, chocalate and a bit musty on the nose. Palate is caramel up front with a fantastic cherry note on the back of the palate.

Taste: It is pretty heavy on the vanilla, oak tannins, and rye spice. There is also a note of caramel. It is a little sweet and oily. Look: Deep amber Smell: Vanilla with some rye bread

Nose - So sweet off of the those. Lots of bright berry and cherry. Little bit of pear. Little bit of sticky maple. Some peanut notes linger right on top. A little bready, like a loaf od cinnamon raisin toast. Its got some floral notes to accompany those bright fruit notes. Palate - Lots of vanilla and barrel char off of the first sip. Followed by some cinnamon and nuttiness. very light and refreshing on the mouthfeel with notes of black pepper light mint. Finish - Light and smooth with continuous notes of the palate. Really nice and consistent

Age: 11y 7m ABV: 53.5% Nose- floral and citrus Taste- really soft mouthfeel, but the flavors are bold. Dried cherry, minty sweetness hint of rye spice Finish- on the lighter side but pleasant. Pear, cherry and more mint hanging around
