Cocoa and chocolate pudding with prominent floral notes and fresh cherry. Caramel, vanilla, and oak present in the background. Visibly dark color for a five-year-old whiskey.

Opens with a quick sizzle followed by an explosion of sweetness at mid-palate. Cherry and dark chocolate with significant barrel spice dominate the middle. Floral notes persist alongside the spice, which rolls back smoothly toward the finish.

Long and building with cinnamon, pepper, and oak from the barrel. Persistent Kentucky Hug develops and stays present. Flavors continue evolving on the backend.
