Wheated (no rye)
Nose
Inviting maple and caramel with gentle ethanol warmth and a sizzle. Charred barrel aspects are present but not heavily smoky.
Palate
Very sweet and syrupy with silky texture. Brown sugar, almond, and almondy nutty notes dominate with a subtle red man sweet chewing tobacco nuance.
Finish
Medium length and pleasant without prolonged lingering, allowing the drinker to repeatedly return to the glass.
Overall Score
4.2 / 5
A silky, exceptionally sweet wheated bourbon with impressive texture and approachable spice from its French oak stave selection.
