Gold color. Aromas and flavors of apple cinnamon oatmeal, apple cider powdered mix, cherry beeswax, and almond cookie and allspice with a round, vibrant, dryish medium body and a warming, elegant, long finish revealing impressions of scorched grain, maple brown sugar and apple oatmeal, coriander, and cinnamon and orange with cracked black pepper. A unique expression that gives you characteristics of a younger Whiskey combined with the subtlety of a well-aged spirit; you’ll want to come back for more.
