Nose

Alcohol-forward with maple syrup and sweetness; floral notes; traditional caramel and vanilla.

Palate

Sweet hit on the front of the palate with surprising spice on the back end from the stave profile; chocolate-covered cherries with almond and nuttiness; raisin and dark fermented fruit notes; layered complexity.

Finish

Racetrack bourbon character with leather and oak emerging over time; medium-to-long finish with lingering sweetness and spice.

Very good
An impressive limited-edition wheated bourbon with excellent layered complexity, surprising spice from innovative stave profiling, and a beautiful balance of sweetness and wood character.
