Nose
Buttery and sweet on first pass, recalling butterscotch (Werther's Original). Second nosing reveals sweet, sour, and funky character—a noble rot quality from Sauternes aging. Floral and wine-like with complexity evolving over time.
Palate
Smooth with wine-like integration of sweet and slightly funky Sauternes influence. Complex layers of butter, fruit, and floral character.
Finish
Long, lingering finish with continuing butterscotch and wine-like sophistication.
Top notch
A captivating bonus pour showcasing how Sauternes barrel aging creates an entirely wine-forward whiskey experience with butter, funk, and floral complexity.
