Tasting Notes
"Vanilla pudding and creamed corn lead on a nose with a classic grain whisky profile, along with orange peels, mint, and milk chocolate. The palate shifts into rye spice, tingly black and green peppercorns, cinnamon, tannic oak, and cacao nibs. The finish is short, with a bitter astringency, pecans, ginger, lemons, and Christmas spice."
