Nose
Opens with toasted corn and buttery caramel, followed by ripe red apple and a streak of charred oak. Beneath that sits a quiet vanilla sweetness with faint floral notes.
Palate
Full-bodied and grain-forward, with butterscotch leading into dark cherry and brown spices. The malt comes through mid-palate, giving way to a pleasant oak structure that stays balanced.
Finish
Medium-long with lingering caramel, charred oak, and a whisper of leather.
