Tasting Notes
Nose
A delicate and sweet aroma. Baking spices with brown sugar. There are touches of alcohol enveloped in oak. I get hints of sugar cookies out of the oven. Molasses and hazelnuts. Overall it is inviting and warm without overpowering the senses.
Palate
Dry and instantly warming to the palate. Subtle notes of char and oak are present up front. The flavor is robust without being confrontational. I struggled to piece out individual notes as the flavor is well blended together. I can find almost burnt brown sugar but not in a bad way. I can find the corn and wheat sweetness with rye spice sort of accentuating the profile. The finish is very dry and long. It holds for a good long while on the palate with a tingling sensation. The final taste is char and oak but its soft. The flavor almost numbs the tongue which is different.
