Golden amber color. Aromas and flavors of vanilla fudge, caramel waffel, Raisin Bran, and candied cherries with a velvety, lively, dry medium body and an interesting, medium-length finish with nuances of chocolate caramel, fudge and cherries, cinnamon and nutmeg, and caramel vanilla cream. Young and a bit American oak-forward that will appeal to many Bourbon drinkers and is still a well crafted Single Malt that will be of interest to traditionalists as well.
