Nose

Dark, measured maple character; balanced with traditional bourbon oak notes; not overly maple-forward.

Palate

Whole-grain waffle and warm butter with caramelized sugar; toasted marshmallow character; disciplined maple presence without overreach; honey and pistachio notes.

Finish

Shifts to toasted oak providing structure and welcome length; maple does not dominate the finish.

Excellent
A masterfully restrained maple finish that delivers waffle-and-butter warmth while allowing toasted oak structure to provide balance and length.
