Color: Medium amber with a touch of brilliant shine. Fairly quick to fall, but long lingering legs. Nose: Strong vanilla up front with a subtle undertone…maybe butterscotch? Nearer notes of light oak and spices Palate: The barley and corn dance around with some baking spices and apple with just a hint of vanilla. It all wraps up with a touch of smoky charred oak Adding a touch of water blends the grains into something reminiscent of a single malt, highlighting the smooth vanillin rich oakiness
