Nose
Exceptional nose with carrot cake and cream cheese icing notes, citrus (burnt orange), creamy vanilla quality
Palate
Marries nicely with the mash bill, lot of flavor with a crescendo on the end, minty quality (spearmint), barbecue-adjacent smokiness without being overwhelming
Finish
Fresh spearmint on the end, crescendos nicely, does something wonderful in the back of the palate
Overall Score
4.5 / 5
A compelling red oak finish that showcases unexpected dessert and citrus aromatics while delivering a sophisticated spice-and-mint finale.
