Nose: cinnamon, cherry, red apple, pie crust with fruit juices burnt in, brown sugar. Taste: the barrel shines through with chard oak being the the main taste, caramel apples, fruit on the tip of the tongue. The experience is that of a Norman Rockwell painting, American as envisioned and remembered. This could be enjoyed on a pourch just as easily as in a New York bar. Cherry pie, craft, an open sky, and a world where anything is possible. This whiskey tastes like America.
