Medium golden in a glencarin. Legs are medium but plentiful.
Nose is bright with sweet malt and orange peel. Unbelievably smooth with bits of new oak, ginger and malt sweetness that lend to a lasting, light simple syrup-like finish with subtle warmth.
A year later this reminds me of peaches in syrup but with bourbon (corn-forward sweet vanilla notes) in the background. Peaches ‘n cream. With just enough supporting ginger (maybe the French oak coming through) and allspice this is on the sweet side but balanced overall. Body is thin but to be expected at 80 proof. Finish is very desert like.
Man I want peach cobbler and vanilla ice cream right now.
