Sweet corn, vanilla, and red fruit on the nose. Caramel and corn, some grassy rye, but any spice bite from the rye is softened by a jammy fruit cover. Medium light body, beautiful auburn color. From soft mouthfeel to a quick finish-- soft fruit and then gone. The wheat content and wine barreling really smooths this without oak taking over. Easy to sip at 42 abv. Would love to see this at 50 abv where I think it would have more substance and make the wine barreling impact less dominant. I like wine barreled whiskeys, and this is very good KY/TN juice treated in barrels from a storied vineyard. Just gets better and better with each glass.
