Pronounced maple aroma that jumps immediately upon opening the bottle. The maple softens when poured into the glass, revealing a more subtle, balanced woody character with hints of cognac-like qualities.

Added sweetness from both maple influence and wood sugars from the toasted oak. Slightly cognac-like feel with a smoothness that takes away roughness from the base spirit. All the flavor impact is up-front on the palate with potential for development over time.

Smooth, with the maple and oak influence dominating early impressions.
