Nose
Caramel and vanilla with brown sugar and honey notes. Sweet profile with leather and dark fruit undertones. A sweet candy-like quality on the back end.
Palate
Hot and powerful at 128 proof but remains smooth. Sweet with a strong character. Yields a Kentucky hug without being overly aggressive. Subtle peanut notes (roasted in shell). Some butterscotch character.
Finish
Lingering sweetness and heat.
Top notch
An impressive high-proof pour that maintains smoothness and sweetness despite its intensity, offering excellent value and complexity.
