Nose
Restrained and elegant for its high proof; cocoa powder and rich wood notes with minimal alcohol burn.
Palate
Bold, syrupy, and viscous with maple syrup, dark chocolate, caramel, and coffee-adjacent depth; rich sweetness with significant body and complexity.
Finish
Hot and full with lasting dark-sweet complexity; cocoa and oak persist with substantial warmth.
Really good
An impressively dark and richly flavored single barrel that delivers unexpected depth and sophistication for its youth, with bold spice and cocoa-chocolate character that justifies its premium proof.
