Nose
Prominent apricot and brandy character from the cognac cask influence; floral and delicate with baking spice undertones.
Palate
Apricots, vanilla cream, and oak register across the entire palate simultaneously; good body and mouth feel without heaviness; nutty notes complement the cognac influence.
Finish
Medium length; lingering apricot and spice without becoming overwhelming; stays long enough to evoke the flavors and moments it creates.
Overall Score
4.6 / 5
An elegant, thoughtfully finished whiskey that balances cognac sophistication with bourbon character—perfect for contemplative sipping or cigar pairing.
