Prominent drunken cherry, deep caramel without sweetness, significant oak presence, underlying minty freshness, cereal grain notes reminiscent of Cheerios, subtle baking spices including clove and cinnamon.

Caramel minus sweetness, noticeable oak tannins with a slight drying quality, cherry notes that emerge on subsequent sips, baking spices, medium body with a subtle bitterness reminiscent of biting into a tart apple, hints of honey.

Medium length, pleasant but not lingering, cherry and oak fade gradually, no harsh alcohol bite despite drinking slightly hotter than 100 proof would suggest.
