Nose
Honey and cereal sweetness (honey smackerz) with dark cherry undertones and intensified complexity.
Palate
Butter, cherry, and dark fruit with cherry-plum and cherry-raisin notes; creamy and coating with surprising smoothness despite high proof; pronounced Tabasco-like peppery rye spice.
Finish
Hot and peppery with lingering sweetness; warm and impactful.
Impressive
A rich, butter-forward barrel-strength expression with honey-cherry complexity and a bold peppery finish that justifies the high proof.
