-
Palate
Thick and expressive. Waves of toffee, cinnamon, dark cherry, honeyed wheat bread, charred oak, and rich caramel unfold with warmth. Mid-palate brings clove, nutmeg, and faint tobacco leaf. -
Finish
Long and savory molasses, oak char, cocoa powder, and lingering spice fade into a sweet, smoky Kentucky echo.
