Sweet cornbread, maple syrup and butter, caramel and baking spice, subtle airy quality with a hint of oak. Corn comes through more prominently than expected, less floral than comparable releases.

Bold and full with surprising depth for the proof. Honey spice with jalapeño sugary spice character, sweet cornbread and Jiffy cornbread notes dominate. Baking spice and subtle anise/licorice hints. Cereal-forward profile leaning into cornbread rather than minty or peppery rye characteristics. Drinks hotter than stated proof.

Sticking finish with bubble gum-like quality and spicy minty spice lingering on the back of the tongue. Herbal and earthy notes emerge, with baked potato skin earthiness. Kentucky hug present on first sip but dissipates quickly without prolonged burn.
