Nose
Fresh and floral with spring daisy, ripe peach, cherry, and honey notes. Light nose with a touch of youthful character and a hint of bottled honey.
Palate
Soft and approachable at 90 proof with gentle caramel and honey sweetness. Clearly a wheated bourbon with floral notes coming through. Minimal spice, no Kentucky hug, with just a touch of white pepper bite. Light body and thin mouthfeel.
Finish
Surprisingly long finish for the proof with white pepper spice. Sits nicely on the palate without harsh burn.
Overall Score
3.5 / 5
A fine, easy-drinking spring and summer sipper with fresh fruit and floral notes that shows promise with additional aging.
