Nose
Richer, more complex fruit character than the craft grape; bourbon-forward with more pronounced oak influence.
Palate
Tighter on the palate than the craft grape; fruit still present but more bourbon-forward due to increased new American oak; pronounced tingle on the tongue from high proof.
Finish
Long and warming; the proof carries through but finishes smooth and balanced without harshness.
Very good
A higher-proof reserve expression with excellent character and balance, showcasing what careful barrel selection can achieve.
