Nose
Corn sweetness with notes of caramel, toffee, and cotton candy. Light citrus on the nose, particularly orange zest.
Palate
Sweet and tart with immediate spice from the high rye. Described as having a Pop Rocks-like quality with sweetness battling tartness while spice attacks the palate. Notes of peanut brittle and smoked chocolate.
Finish
A California hug with lingering sweetness and spice, not overpowering.
Above average
A beautiful, well-balanced gateway bourbon with surprising complexity for its age, offering excellent value for a young craft whiskey.
