Vibrant gold and copper body with lots of medium speed legs.
Nose shows the apple wood smoke immediately. Plenty of fresh oak and a hint of vanilla and pecan. Musty, earthy character and a grassy note sneaking in there, too.
Lots of barrel, accentuated by the smoke, but not overly charry.
Medium to soft mouth feel coats the mouth with a sweetness and helps to carry the flavor.
Short to medium finish that leaves more smoke and a return of the vanilla and apple wood. The wheat shows on its own, outside the smoke
Deep and earthy, it shows the youth, but is still quite pleasant.
Neat idea and a nice take to a traditional bourbon.
