Youthful with grassy and hay notes, earthy undertones, a little musty like an antique shop or old toolbox, some burnt caramel, malted barley-driven sugars coming through.

Caramel-forward but dry rather than sweet, green apple bite, kettle corn and nuttiness (pecan swirl pastry notes), spicy with good body and viscous texture, bitter notes on the first sip that subdue on subsequent tastes, growing sweetness on the second sip.

Medium finish with Kentucky rye spice, heat appropriate for the proof level, lingering sweetness.
