Tasting Notes
"What a clean nose where the younger alcohol notes have been put on a leash in favor of the oak spice’s gentler side. This allows the caramel, vanilla and saw dust characters to effortlessly blend into the mix. In the mouth, the spices are unleashed with a fresh juiciness where the corn whisky fires off focused baking spices such as cinnamon. This whisky hits all the right notes leading up to a finale of citrus fruits with all the previous characteristics coming out for a curtain call. "
