The aroma leads with quintessential scents of caramel, vanilla, and aged oak. Cornbread and an underlying candy sweetness layer in, adding depth and taking it just outside of more traditional territory. It’s a light, approachable, and enjoyable introduction to the sip.

A savory cigar box note develops at the midpoint, which transitions to cinnamon and peppery oak on the backend. It’s well done and has a sophisticated feel to it, showing off its age but still keeping an underlying brightness to it.
