Sensory Description:

On the nose, this bourbon offers sweet, creamy cereal aromas mingled with caramel and butterscotch. The palate opens with layers of caramel, honey, and vanilla, enhanced by the port barrel’s fruity richness and a touch of citrus brightness. A moderate oak presence grounds the whiskey, while the finish is long, warm, and balanced, lingering with subtle butterscotch and soft spice. Its rounded character makes it equally suited to sipping neat or enjoying in a crafted cocktail.
