Nose
Vanilla sweetness with a light floral perfume, citrus zest, fresh herbs, sweet spices, black pepper, and charred oak.
Palate
Mouth-coating sweetness of vanilla, cinnamon, clove, green apple, unripe banana, peppery pot still spices, charred American oak, rich, creamy texture, floral butterscotch, orchard fruits, and mild tannins.
Finish
Soft sweet spices fading leisurely, charred oak, barley grains, warmth, elegance, and a hint of tropical fruits, long, smooth, and peppery.
