51% corn, 44% malted barley, 5% rye
Nose
Very interesting and sweet with notes of apricot, peach, and nectarine. Light, floral, and sweet without being cloying. The high malted barley content plays a significant role in the aroma profile.
Palate
Sweet upfront with a chalky, hard candy minerality reminiscent of Necco candies. Displays sweet tart characteristics with a slight tartness on the back end, like biting into a green apple. Very smooth with no spiciness. Minimal influence from the rye content. The flavor sits prominently on the front of the palate.
Finish
A little spice peeks through as it lingers on the tongue, possibly the rye attempting to show itself, though not substantial. The sweetness and nectarine or peach notes continue to linger.
Noteworthy
A well-crafted, unique high-malt bourbon that offers an interesting flavor profile with sweet fruit and mineral notes, best enjoyed as a sipper rather than a mixer.
