Nose

Refined sugar and honey with cotton candy and toffee. Fresh mint note and darker toffee character with honey forward impression.

Palate

Surprisingly dark and complex for a wheat whiskey with medicinal cherry, good-and-plenty anise, black licorice, and honey. Silky texture with full body.

Finish

Extended and smooth with lingering honey and anise character.

Excellent
An exceptional barrel-proof wheat whiskey delivering surprising depth and complexity with anise-forward character, silky mouthfeel, and craft-quality execution that stands as one of the finest wheated expressions at its proof.
