Brown sugar, dark and concentrated caramel in early stages, sorghum molasses, very sweet and rich, oak and vanilla notes, concentrated, dark cherries, baked cherry pie with buttery crust, hint of barrel, subtle walnut

Bold and spicy, brown sugar sweetness on the front, oak comes through, spice rolls back, hot with Kentucky character, front palate on fire with dryness on back palate, ever prevalent oak, walnut shells and black walnut, pecan pie notes with corn syrup and hard shell pecan characteristics, tobacco and pipe smoke notes, mid-palate and forward focused

Medium to long finish, hangs around but primarily mid-palate rather than the back, not a pronounced hug despite the proof, spice and oak linger
