Rich aromas of caramel, butterscotch, and vanilla bean rise from the glass, layered with sweet corn bread, toasted oak, ripe stone fruit, and subtle baking spice. Hints of honey, roasted nuts, and gentle char add depth and complexity.

PALATE

Smooth, rich, and beautifully balanced. Luxurious notes of caramelized sugar, butterscotch, vanilla, and sweet corn bread are complemented by ripe apricot, baked peach, toasted oak, and warm barrel spice. The rye component contributes structure and a refined pepper character that enhances the bourbon's depth without overwhelming its natural sweetness.
