Tasting Notes: You smell waves of vanilla frosting and burnt sugar mixing with bright orange zest. Then, deeper notes of canned pear and rich almond butter come forward. The first sip hits with molasses and cracked white pepper. This is followed by an earthy, sage note and dried mango. Oak leads as the whiskey opens. It adds charred wood spice on top of the growing sweetness. The finish is a slow burn of toasted oak and wild honeysuckle. It\’s long, warm, and captivating finish.
