This whiskey leads with rich notes of buttered popcorn, French toast, and maple syrup. Complex aromas of smoky cedar and woody tobacco. Hints of black pepper and caramelized orange, with subtle hints of tropical fruit. The palate is sweet and elegant, showcasing flavors of butter pecan, vanilla, and cream soda. The mid-palate is loaded with fig, chocolate-covered cherry, and baking spice. There's a thick, creamy smokiness that's evenly distributed throughout. The sweet flavors of black walnut, vanilla, and allspice are reminiscent of Derby pie. The finish is lengthy and spicy, highlighted by the significant amount of rye in the blend.
