Nose
Light fruit, honey, tea, raisin, nutmeg, sweet and tart with frosted flakes cereal and sugary sweetness from the white corn.
Palate
Not overly sweet with stone fruit, light fruit, baking spices, nutmeg and clove. Initial coolness with pop rocks sensation and a light tartness. Medium viscosity with a tad of tart bitterness and persimmon notes.
Finish
Medium length with cinnamon, allspice, and baking spices lingering on the sides of the tongue.
Recommended
A unique bourbon with an unusual high malted barley profile that delivers a distinctive experience with sweet-tart characteristics and spiced finish that steps outside the typical bourbon box.
