Nose
Stone fruit with peach syrup notes. Delicate and surprising with evolving character as it settles in the glass.
Palate
Warm and smooth with white pepper spice that slowly warms the tongue without excessive bite. Rye grain carries the whiskey with balanced warmth.
Finish
Longer and deeper hug than the California expression with smooth, mellowed oak character.
Overall Score
4.1 / 5
A refined sipper with stone fruit and subtle spice that showcases how oak finishing dramatically transforms the base bourbon into a smoother, more nuanced expression.
