Nose
A perfect balance of wood and caramel, with notes of toffee-apple, popcorn, maple, gooseberry, overripe banana, cedar wood, floral hints, wheat grain, dark fruits like cherry and fig, vanilla custard, mint, rich tobacco leaf, and pine.
Palate
Rich and full of caramel, vanilla, and wood. Woody with maple, freshly sawn oak, corn, apricot, and brandy butter, turning drier. Complex flavors of vanilla, caramel, oak, spice, sweet corn, and rye grain.
Finish
Sweet corn that lingers pleasantly, with cedar wood, pine, maple syrup, light cinnamon, lingering toasted oak, and charcoal tannins. Long and elegant, with a lingering sweetness and refined smoothness.
