Nose

Rich honey and fig paste notes with warm leather. Sticky sweetness with Christmas spice, figs, and Hershey kisses. Deep, candy-like richness without aggressive alcohol burn despite 110 proof.

Palate

Spicy pepper and molasses with creamy honey and fig. Scorched molasses character with rich, dark honey flavor. Smooth without drying or bitterness. Viscous and oily with chocolate notes emerging on extended tasting.

Finish

Medium to long finish that sticks to the palate. Lingers with the honey and spice profile.

Excellent
An exceptional wheated bourbon with a unique, spicy character that competes with top-shelf competitors while delivering Leapers Fork's signature Christmas cake and fruit cake profile.
