Nose
Sweet corn-forward aroma with spiciness and cinnamon. Light citrus undertones, particularly orange. Rye spice is present but approachable at 98 proof. Buttery impression on the initial nosing.
Palate
Sweet introduction followed by cracked peppercorn spice on the mid-palate. Orange citrus returns with a light, balanced sweetness. Sweet spice on the back end.
Finish
Orange citrus and sweet spice linger with good balance between the corn sweetness and rye spice.
Enjoyable
A balanced, approachable straight bourbon with prominent corn sweetness balanced by rye spice and citrus notes that deliver a pleasant, well-structured pour.
