Nose

Deep, rich fruit preserve and jam character, mahogany wine notes, bold red wine richness, grape-forward with fruit complexity

Palate

Viscous and chewy, darker fruit notes, deep and rich without being overly sweet, a touch of dryness reminiscent of wine tannins but not tannic, grape skin character

Finish

Long, with lingering fruit and subtle drying character from wine influence

Impressive
An exceptionally unique wine-finished bourbon that masterfully balances bourbon character with sophisticated Petite Syrah influence, creating a premium collector's expression.
