Tasting Notes
"It's very light and fruity - golden apples, pears, green grapes. The bourbon cask indeed imparts a good hit of vanilla, also a pleasant charcoal smoke from the charred wood of the barrel. Finishes sweet with some pie spices. Really opens up significantly with the slightest drop of water."
