Deep caramel without sweetness, drunken cherries steeped in bourbon, prominent oak effect, cereal notes reminiscent of Cheerios, subtle minty freshness underneath, a touch of smoke, baking spices including clove and cinnamon notes.

Caramel without sweetness, significant oak presence with a slight drying quality, cherry notes emerge on the third sip, subtle honey, baking spices, medium body with a watery quality suggesting the proof-down was intentional, plays between bold flavors and approachability.

Medium length finish, pleasant but not lingering, flavors present but fade relatively quickly, no harsh alcohol burn despite tasting hotter than 100 proof suggests.
