Nose
Green apple and vanilla with a sawdust, new-oak character that dominates the initial aroma.
Palate
Buttery and silky smooth with roasted peanut, Granny Smith apple, and a mint note from the rye component. The new oak transitions into peanut shell character, with vanilla coming through clearly. Slightly assertive back-palate bite from the barrel strength.
Finish
Warm finish with lingering nutty and oak-forward character.
Enjoyable
A well-crafted blend with compelling new-oak character and bright fruit notes, though the barrel-proof bite and oak-forward profile place it behind more balanced expressions.
