Nose: Warm caramel and vanilla lead, followed by toasted oak and a hint of cinnamon. Ripe orchard fruits like apple and pear emerge, along with a touch of dried corn sweetness. A subtle leather note adds depth.

Palate: Rich and full-bodied. Brown sugar and maple syrup coat the tongue, balanced by spicy rye and black pepper. Charred oak brings a pleasant bitterness, while notes of baked apples and nutmeg add complexity. The high proof delivers a warming sensation without overpowering the flavors.

Finish: Long and satisfying. The sweetness fades to reveal more oak tannins and lingering spices. A touch of dark chocolate appears, along with a slight nuttiness reminiscent of pecans. The warmth continues, leaving a gentle tingle on the palate.
