Nose
Corn-forward with honey sweetness, honeysuckle florals, earthy woody notes, and a hint of hay. Cereal notes reminiscent of Corn Pops.
Palate
Sweet spice on the front end with less corn presence than the nose. Balanced palate with cereal notes, rye spice in the middle, and minimal bitterness on the back end. Not overpowering ethanol.
Finish
Short finish typical of a younger whiskey. Light on the back palate without much lingering intensity.
Respectable
A well-balanced, smooth spring or summer sipper at 86 proof that works equally well neat or in cocktails, making it an approachable introduction to bourbon at an attractive price point.
