Nose
Sugary and fresh with almond extract, vanilla, and a touch of ethanol bite despite the lower proof. The most sugary expression of the flight.
Palate
Silky and creamy — the smoothest texture of the flight — with buttercream icing, fresh vanilla, and pleasant nuttiness. A surprisingly complex and well-rounded character.
Finish
Pleasant and lingering with continued vanilla and almond character.
Top notch
A remarkably smooth and creamy barrel proof with excellent texture and approachable elegance despite its younger age statement and lower proof.
