Nose
Vanilla and caramel with fruit character; wintergreen and sassafras notes suggesting root beer and minty qualities; opens up gradually with continued exposure.

Buttery and savory with candied apple and hot fudge notes; cocoa powder characteristics; leather and tobacco emerging as it sits; mineral notes from Rosendale water; balanced with no excessive bite despite high proof.
Finish
Leather and tobacco notes with lingering mineral character; continues to evolve with extended air time.
Overall Score
4.3 / 5
An impressively balanced 14-year blend of Indiana and Tennessee whiskeys finished in rare eight-year air-seasoned oak, offering complex evolution from sweet caramel and root beer notes to leather and tobacco with elegant minerality.
