Nose
Ethanol-forward initially; opens to toffee caramel candy (nips), toasted pecans, and buttery sweetness on second pass.
Palate
Super spicy with pop rocks sensation; caramel macchiato and creamer creaminess; toffee-forward with silky butter and mint; earthy and savory with Mayapple jelly character.
Finish
Long and impressive with a notably strong Kentucky hug; butter-mint table-mint finish with lingering spice.
Pleasant
An ethanol-forward opener that evolves into a spicy, complex sipper with impressive finish length and a strong Kentucky hug, though the heat may be polarizing.
