Gold color. Aromas and flavors of rising bread dough, mixed garden herbs, butterscotch and vanilla, cinnamon, orange, and and baked apple with a velvety, lively, dry medium body and a warming, appealing, medium-length finish conveying accents of honey malt and cocoa powder, vanilla and butterscotch, orange and baking spices, and shortbread. A high quality American Single Malt with layers of fruit and balanced barrel spices; tasty and delightful.
