- Nose
- Sweet notes of malt grain and corn are predominant, with subtle hints of baking chocolate, baking spices, toffee, and brown sugar. Soft nutty notes drizzled with light caramel and milk chocolate coat a layer of fruit character (apple, dried fruit, tropical fruit). Hints of brown spice, savory mint and brown sugar mingle with a rich note of freshly milled toasted oak.
- Palate
- A mixture of sweet and hot with malt grain, sweet cornbread, oak, and hint of baking chocolate. Dark chocolate and caramel coated nuts are dried out with a dusting of cocoa powder and brown spice. A fruit medley brightens a trace of toasted coconut and rich, bright oak character. Peppery and sharp, oaky, and a little hot for its strength, with sweetness from caramel and butterscotch, strawberry preserve, sour cherry, and a hint of an earthy effervescence.
- Finish
- The heat from the palate quickly fades leaving rich flavors of cocoa, malt, nuts, and a hint of leather. Nutty and subtly sweet chocolate malt notes. Medium-short in length, trails off a bit with some herbal spice, lighter sugar flavors, some grain, and a bit of barrel char.
