Nose
Brown sugar dominates. Subtle dried fruit notes. Less prominent rickhouse funk than some counterparts. Lighter presentation.
Palate
Warm, silky, buttery texture above all else. Cherry and orange slice notes emerge gently. Almond shell adds subtle depth. Delicate white pepper on the finish. Understated and refined.
Finish
Delicate white pepper. Zero burn. Almond shell and cherry fade slowly. Smooth and easy.
Top notch
A delicately textured, silky-smooth expression defined by buttery mouthfeel and subtle fruit notes rather than bold flavor declarations.
