Tasting Notes
"Despite the freshness and impression of youth, this deviates from the fruit-driven profile one might expect and incorporates obvious wood tones. Unsmoked tobacco, raisin, and toffee dominate, with shades of burnt sugar coming out toward the end. The tannins are quite restrained for such an aggressively woody spirit and the overall sense of flavor balance is quite pleasant."
