Front-of-tongue sweetness with corn undertones balanced by wheat character. Cinnamon spice builds significantly on the back end, followed by stone fruit, oak, and a developing cinnamon butteriness. The higher proof delivers noticeable warmth and presence without being overpowering.

Long and warming with pronounced cinnamon toothpick character. The finish carries a buttery, viscous quality that persists through multiple sips, with lingering oak and sweetness settling on the palate.
